Hi! I’m Sadu, a portrait and fashion photographer based in Tallinn, Estonia. For me, photography is more than just capturing images - it’s the art of truly noticing. Noticing the way light dances, the fleeting beauty of a moment, and the depth of emotions that make each story unique.

Growing up in a family of artists, including my grandfather Kalju Suur - a renowned photographer during the Soviet era - taught me to use my imagination to push creative boundaries. These early influences shaped how I see the world and continue to inspire my work today.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with incredible talents like Filippo Caroti, Artur Wesolowski, and Maiken Staak. These experiences have enriched my understanding of fashion photography and the aesthetics of light. My formal photography education at Tallinn Polytechnic School further strengthened my technical foundation, allowing me to bring both creativity and precision to every project.

I have a profound passion for film photography, especially in black and white. This medium allows me to capture the depth and emotion of my subjects in a timeless way. While I often draw inspiration from industrial landscapes, architecture, and geometric patterns, I find that these elements add a unique structure and contrast to my portrait work. Each photograph becomes a canvas where I blend my inspirations with the essence of the person in front of my lens.

Love, simplicity, creativity, and spontaneity are at the heart of my artistic vision. I strive to infuse these elements into every image I create, ensuring that each portrait not only reflects the individuality of my subjects but also tells their unique story. My goal is to make every session an intimate experience, capturing genuine moments that resonate and linger long after the shutter clicks.

What I love most about photography is capturing people as they truly are - their essence and their stories. Every soul has something extraordinary to share, and I feel incredibly grateful to bring those stories to life in ways that words cannot describe.

Thank You for taking the time to get to know me.
I look forward to creating something beautiful together!
