My name is Risto Laineste.
I am a full-time professional product photographer in Estonia specializing in luxury and vintage watches.
I've been photographing watches for nearly 10 years, honing my craft to deliver exceptional results. I shoot in a studio with controlled lighting, using high-quality macro equipment and techniques such as focus stacking. Whether building a dynamic scene or creating a clean, minimalist background, these are just a few aspects of my meticulous workflow. Watch photography is a patient, detailed process - one that involves carefully sculpting light and focusing on every intricate detail. It's not just photography; it's an art form.
Collecting vintage timepieces has become a personal passion of mine. Over the years, I've had the privilege of acquiring rare, well-preserved pieces. Along the way, I've connected with many fellow collectors and enthusiasts. I now offer bespoke photography sessions for your collection, delivering magazine-quality images along with a beautifully crafted photobook. Additionally, I also create short, captivating videos showcasing the elegance of your watches.
Feel free to reach out if you're looking for a creative photographer.
