On Wings of the Raven: The Seen and the Unseen in the Work of Eero Murtomäki

Celebrated Finnish nature photographer Eero Murtomäki has mastered what is called, in Finland, a “deeper understanding” of nature. Built upon seven decades of exploration at sea, and in the forests and marshmires of Finland, this understanding contains both the seen and the unseen aspects of nature.

”On Wings of the Raven” combines interviews, Eero’s archival films and photographs, and travel footage in the forests of Vaasa and marine environments of Kvarken, on the Bothnian sea—a duality of locations that is central to Eero’s lifework.
