Sari Soininen (b.1991, Raisio) is a Finnish fine art photographer known for her vibrant, dreamlike imagery and richly atmospheric visual worlds. Working with colour gels, flash, and long exposure techniques, she constructs alternative realities within the moment, exploring the boundaries between perception, symbolism, and the unseen. Her practice is rooted in philosophical inquiry and esoteric thought, informed by personal mystical experiences that challenge and expand the understanding of reality.

Soininen holds an MA in Photography from the University of the West of England (2021). She has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions across Europe and the United States and has published three books. Her work has been featured in major international publications including The Guardian, British Journal of Photography, Fisheye Magazine and the Financial Times. She is represented by Galleria Heino in Finland and Marie Valat Agency in France. Soininen has received several grants, and her works are included in public and private collections in Finland, the United States, Canada, Japan, Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
