Photographer Maris Ojasuu

When did you start the artistic journey ??

It was about 10 years ago when my friend noticed my interest about photography. All my free time spent with online photography. I was enchanted about photo-art, and I still do. It was just something for me, i felt it inside…

What is your plans for the future??

I feel sometimes that my country is too small for me, I want to see more, feel more and visit many ohter places, ohter countries. Of course I would like to be a spot, not a small spot on the worlds Art Map.

Name three people that has been your inspiration?

I was very happy when I saw a letter in my mailbox from Denmark, Photographer Rene Asmussen is one of my favorite photographer. Second is one Ukraine´n woman, who´s total name I dont know, her works are in here:

Tell us about your artwork – What thoughts you have when you work?

It´s all about feeling. I truly believe that the real art comes inside of you. When I take pictures of my customer, I will meditate before that – try to clear my mind of old reelings and thoughts. I have to be cristal clear for the customer. I can´t let anything from my personal life to spoil my work with the other person. I like a deeply personal approach. My most better genre is nude photography. As a very tender and pepole loving person, I love to see to the deep inside a woman. They are just so beautiful, and I am so lucky when they show me their Soul and open theirselves. Most of my nude photography customers are afraid when they walk in to my house. I can see that. The most biggest reward for me is that when they leave, they are happy, very happy. They smile, they thank and they say: “I feel much more confident than before”.

How often do you make your art?

Every single day, thats for sure.

Did you exhibit your work somewhere?

I have done some exhibitions in here, in Estonia. The last one was last year and it travelled around the country.

What is your biggest dream ?

I would like go to Nepal and Tibet very much. As a buddist person myself, I would like see real budhist monks, real budhist places and take some wonderful photos of them. Afrter that I would like to show an exhibition about this travel. My dream is to be better and better, I am still and always critique about my work and I always feel that I can be a better photographer. That I have to put more inside of me to my art.
