About me
Hey!
My name is Espen Helland,
I’m a wildlife photographer based in the Highlands of Scotland.
I’m originally from Norway, so I should probably say Hei! but I’ve lived in Scotland since I studied wildlife biology… a long time ago. So now I say, Aye!
In Scotland, I’ve worked as an ecologist
Espen Helland Photography is about combining my passion for wildlife with my obsession for photography. I love the process and I’m enjoying the journey more every day.
And then I found YouTube.
