No you can't. Only a licensed photography studio can do it [1]. You can, however, submit a paper photograph taken by anyone.

I literally can. Please don't spread misinformation when I doubt you even are a Finn.

E: not to mention that the page you linked doesn't even say anything about prohibiting self taken photos.

You can register as a photographer very easily. I've been doing my own pics for years now.
You don't even need to register as a photographer (to submit other people's photos). You can do it as an individual just fine, as the submission page directly mentions.
