Are the photographed dragonflies immobilised?

No, there is no posing. All of the images here are of live animals in a natural setting. The insects were not chilled or hurt to prevent them moving.

Where have my photos been published?

More than 200 of my best dragonfly photos were published in the book on the dragonflies of Finland. There is only a sample in these web pages. I have got several honourable mentions in the Finnish Nature Photograph of the Year competition.
