In december I had a quick photo session with Leena Rissanen and Lina Ozolina (in this photo) during their normal training at Myllypuro. It was very interesting but really hard at first to shoot it. You really need to know a bit of the moves before you get good results, luckily their coach was there to help me out with the timing.  We are planning to shoot more soon!
