In 2008, Good Charlotte's lead singer Joel Madden asked Juurikkala to join the band on tour as their photographer. The collaboration soon led to Juurikkala moving to Los Angeles, where he worked with Kat Von D and Chester Bennington among others.

Other prominent figures Juurikkala has since worked with include Secretary-General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon, Formula One World Champion Mika Häkkinen and opera singer Andrea Bocelli.

From 2008 to 2011, Juurikkala lived in Los Angeles. In 2010, he began to feel burnt out, and announced that he'd be going on a two-month trip to the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage from France to Spain. During his journey, all of Juurikkala's possessions were stolen, so he slept in the woods and with the homeless. Despite this, Juurikkala stated: ”I had never been so happy. I realized that success and material possessions didn't bring deep joy. For most of us, success and material possessions breathe expectation and fear. Having lost everything, there was nothing left to lose. Nothing to fear, nothing to expect. In its place was this moment. A deep joy of just being – here and now.” Eventually Juurikkala's mother flew him back to Finland. At the same time he decided to quit drinking, and in 2012 he moved back to Finland.

1990

Among Ville Juuriikkala's biggest influences are Bob Gruen and Anton Corbijn. His visual style has its roots in cross processing, a popular technique during the 1990s. When Juurikkala began working as a professional photographer, cross processing was not as widely used anymore. Still Juurikkala has stayed true to his visual style, stating: ”This is what I want to do. It's not trendy, doesn't bother me.” For Juurikkala the most essential part of his work is ”getting close to the person, and then getting that presence across to other people.” In regards to his shooting style, Juurikkala has stated: ”My tonal palette is quite rock in its starkness, but I also strive for a certain painting-like-look with my colors. Maybe it's because I can't paint. The compositions and poses aren't very rock most of the time. Maybe it's this slight dichotomy that brings something extra to my shots.”
