Collaboration with photographer Anna-Maria Viksten

Avanti starts a collaboration with photographer Anna-Maria Viksten.

Avanti is delighted to start working with photographer Anna-Maria Viksten. Viksten’s thoughtful and visionary handprint will be widely visible in Avanti’s visual identity and events this season.

Anna-Maria Viksten is a Helsinki-based photographer and the trusted name of creative potrait photography, Valotus by Ama. With a long background in classical music, she moves naturally between the different facets of music photography while maintaining her own recognizable style. A curious way of living is evident in her images and work.

“When working with Avant, I expect to draw from the diverse musical content to create a visual world that follows the abstract nature of the music, with the look and feel of Avant. A world that organically creates a sense of identity and is in itself something to stop at. Inspired by both the personal and collective essence of the music Avant performs. I bring to life visually what music already does so naturally: evoke emotions in us. It is with great excitement and curiosity that I embark on this collaboration. ”
-Anna-Maria Viksten
