Black Grouse Lek - Join me in April 2024 to photograph these incredible birds
I’m Espen Helland, a wildlife and Conservation photographer based in Scotland
After having travelled and been location independent for over two years, I’ve settled down in the Scottish Highlands. At the edge of the Cairngorms, I’m surrounded by mountains and wildlife.
I’m most interested in how to get close to wildlife, and this is what I focus on with YouTube and my Blog. On most days you can find me, camera in hand, exploring the hills.
New in 2022
In 2022 I became an OM SYSTEM Ambassador and I have recently released a course on the OM System (Olympus) for wildlife photography.
You can now join me in the field for workshops in Scotland - Check out what’s available here!

Each month I send out an email with some news about what I’m working on, upcoming workshops and events.

That way you will also get specific updates only relating to OM System. Don’t worry if you’ve signed up to both, you won’t get the same email twice.

I’ve been lucky enough to borrow the new OM System OM-1 Mark II before it’s official release. In this blog post I’ll go through some of the new features and share some images I’ve taken during the month I’ve had it.
