Annamaria Palsi-Ikonen
HEAD OF EVERYTHING
I’m a professional photographer based in Tampere, Finland, and I’ve spent years honing my craft and building a career that blends creativity, technical skill, and a genuine love for storytelling. My journey started at Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm, where I studied Visual Communication, followed by studies in Motion Picture and Photography in Tornio, Finland, and at the Visual Communication Institute in Tampere. Those years shaped my “think outside the box” mentality and gave me a deep understanding of visual marketing, helping me create images that don’t just capture moments, but resonate with people on a deeper level.
I started my career as an intern at the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle) as a steadicamoperator and cameraoperator across various programs. It was a huge learning experience, especially in terms of motion and action. From there, I transitioned into still photography and have since worked on both domestic and international TV and movie productions, as well as in the marketing field with commercial photography.
Over the years, I’ve also taken on roles as a location manager and worked with props, which has given me an even broader understanding of the process. This experience has definitely influenced the way I approach photography, and I believe it’s one of the reasons my work stands out.
I’ve been lucky enough to have my work recognized internationally, and along the way, I’ve developed a good sense of humor and a knack for connecting with people. I love making my subjects feel at ease in front of the camera, and that’s when the best moments happen. Whether it’s a high-pressure production or a laid-back shoot, I bring a creative, relaxed, and professional approach to everything I do.

Akiwanos Tiny Bee "Bea"
HEAD OF SECURITY
Meet Tiny Bee, the pint-sized but mighty head of security at our studio! With her sharp eyes on the window, she is always on alert zooming in on anything that moves.
She´s cautious too - if someone looks a little too scary, you´ll see her fur raise in a show of confidence. Once she´s done her thorough security check, she quickly switches gears and is ready to greet you. But you have to have som snacks to offer!
When she´s not on patrol, Tiny Bee loves fishing (although that she´s actually an herder). Nothing is better than putting the life jacket on and go out on the lake fishing with her family!
Oh, don´t let her sweet demeanor fool you - when she was little, she earned the nickname “Tasmanian Devil”, for her wild energy. And at times she can pull off a flash back to those days.
At Beas watch you´re always in good paws!
