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 and occasionally still do freelance ornithology work. I have a passion for conservation, the natural world and I believe it’s our duty to keep as much wildlife and ecosystems alive for ourselves, for future generations, and for nature’s own sake.

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.
