25. Helsinki Samba Carnaval was arranged on 6.6.2015. This was the 7th year when I was photographing the Samba Carnaval for the The Association of Finnish Samba Schools (SSKL). My parade photos are now visible in Helsinki Samba Carnaval 2015 – Parade Part I and Helsinki Samba Carnaval 2015 – Parade Part II galleries.

22. Helsinki Samba Carnaval was arranged last weekend 15.-16.6.2012. This was the 10th year when I was photographing the Helsinki Samba Carnaval 🙂 First years were just for fun, but last four years I have been taking photos for the The Association of Finnish Samba Schools (SSKL). As official photographer I had the benefit that I could move freely within the parade area. Here are two fast galleries from the carnival: Parade and Baile do Carnaval.
