Our tours and services for photographers

For those seeking guidance or wishing to maximize their wildlife or landscape photography experience, Nordic Wildscape offers a range of photography tours and services. In Southern Lapland, Eastern Finland, Northern Norway, or other Scandinavian countries, through our cooperation with local tourism operators and specialists, we offer comprehensive photo tours that cater to beginners, amateurs, and professional photographers. These tours provide not only access to prime locations but also the expertise of seasoned guides who understand the behaviours and patterns of the local nature.

Guided tours are an excellent way to ensure ethical wildlife photography, as guides help navigate the terrain responsibly, ensuring minimal disturbance to the animals. The tours often include hide photography, where photographers can capture intimate portraits of wildlife from concealed locations, allowing for authentic and undisturbed images.

Sometimes the hide photography is the safest, easiest and most comfortable way to capture the wildlife.

Storytelling Photography

Storytelling photography goes beyond capturing isolated moments—it weaves images into a compelling narrative that evokes emotions, conveys messages, and connects with viewers on a deeper level. Rather than focusing solely on aesthetics, this approach prioritizes the story behind the image, allowing photographers to craft visual experiences that resonate.

For photographers, storytelling photography enhances creativity and purpose. It encourages intentional composition, thoughtful framing, and an understanding of the subject’s context, leading to more meaningful and impactful work. It also improves communication skills, as photographers must think about how their images convey emotions and narratives without words.

For those who see the difference

For audiences, storytelling photography fosters engagement and emotional connection. A well-crafted photographic story can inspire, inform, and provoke thought, transporting viewers into the scene and helping them experience moments and perspectives they might never have encountered otherwise. In a world filled with fleeting images, storytelling photography ensures that photographs have lasting significance.
