Who We Are

Kristian Tapaninaho is from Finland. Initially a photographer by trade- Kristian has a good eye, but is way more than just a great photographer. It is unusual to ever encounter Kristian without a Mac, a fact that has led rumours that he is actually having a relationship with his laptop. He is an accomplished web designer and video-maker. In addition he is an arts educator with experience working in schools with Creative Partnerships and with students at The University for the Creative Arts.

Darina Garland is from Scotland her Finnish doesn’t extend much further than ‘I want chocolate’ (hence our name, Suklaa).
Also a photographer, Darina’s experience includes; running and curating an art gallery, producing exhibitions and arts project management. She also has experience working with UCCA and Creative Partnerships for whom she delivers as both a practitioner and a project coordinator.

Darina also likes Macs but it’s not comparable.

We are well-connected and also work in collaboration with various artists and designers.
