Iiris Vispilä

Iiris Vispilä had a four year long career with 40 photographic comic strips in Voima magazine, Finland. The photoshoot locations varied from an amusement park to a wheat field to a maternity hospital, from Uspenski Orthodox cathedral to the Himalaya mountains. This book gathers the strips together for the first time, with quotes from the memoirs of Iiris. We reveal behind the scenes photos, which have those sketch-like moments showing Iiris in all her ubiquitous charm.
