Mikko Lagerstedt is a self-taught photographer that likes to camp next to his tripod at night, waiting hours for an exposure of a frozen coastal scene or a dark and brooding forest. He likes to take shorter exposures of the same location and merge shorter exposures of the sky with significantly longer exposures of the ground, then manipulate in Lightroom. Lagerstedt is extremely open about his process, sharing tutorials and blog posts about how he works on his website. You can also follow him on Instagram.
