Oliver first fell in love with the beauty of Scandinavian nature during his first trip to Norway in 1994. His studies in geography and passion for photography led him on more than 100 journeys to the far north while conducting doctoral research for a Norwegian national park.
Photography has fascinated Oliver since childhood, and it was always his dream to experience and capture the magical Northern Lights. Over time, the pursuit of these extraordinary phenomena became a true passion. It is not uncommon to find him on all-night photography excursions during both the midnight sun and the polar night seasons.
Today, Oliver considers the islands of Lofoten and Vesterålen his second home. Sharing these breathtaking landscapes with fellow travelers is one of his greatest pleasures. He enjoys helping guests discover the best locations, lighting conditions, and photographic opportunities while passing on his enthusiasm for the natural wonders of the Arctic regions.
In addition to Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Iceland are regular destinations on his many photography expeditions.
Since 2018, Oliver has worked full-time as a tour guide and photography instructor. He initially operated as a freelance guide for various travel companies, including Diamir, before launching his own business in 2020 to offer more personalized photography tours.
After relocating to Denmark in February 2021, he re-established his company, ARCTIC PICTURES, which complies with the latest European travel industry standards through coverage provided by the Danish Travel Guarantee Fund.
Oliver's guests include photographers from across the German-speaking world, ranging from complete beginners to experienced professionals.
