Jenni Rissanen and Merja Tuomainen from Kuopio were able to photograph themselves in a reproduction of Victor Barsokevischi’s photos. The photographer is student Svetlana Larina.

In old photographs, people are expressionless. From the point of view of the photographer, the most challenging thing has been to get people out of the selfie culture.

The two-day filming sessions were booked in four hours. The hope is that the Christmas photos will become a new tradition.

A total of five Ingmanedu students are involved in the Christmas filming. Tervaniemi was excited to join the adventure.

– This is an absolutely insane project. I have been to VB many times, so I really wanted to join this activity.

– We were met here very nicely. The filming went smoothly and quickly and I will definitely remember it.
