As early as the 1950s photojournalist and documentary photographer Karl-Gustav Roos (1937–1976) became aware of a picture’s potential to make an impact on society. He photographed city life in Helsinki and Sicily and also took sensitive outdoor fashion photos of clothes designed by Vuokko Nurmesniemi. A majority of Roos’ rare gems are now shown in an exhibition for the first time.
