By 2013, Mikko was pioneering the sale of Lightroom presets, becoming one of the first photographers to monetize digital tools. This success allowed him to leave his restaurant job and dedicate himself fully to photography in 2014. That same year, he published the widely popular Star Photography Masterclass, which continues to influence and inspire aspiring night photographers around the globe. His dual role as creator and educator is a key part of his practice. 🧵 (4/6)
