OLIVER SCHWENN

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.

Il microcosmo della Rocca Workshop di fotografia naturalistica e storytelling nella riserva naturale di Manerba

Un’immersione fotografica tra i contrasti cromatici e ambientali della Riserva Naturale della Rocca di Manerba del Garda. Questo workshop è un viaggio che attraversa ecosistemi opposti: dal microcosmo vitale delle zone umide, dove impareremo a gestire la luce e il movimento per ritrarre la rapidità di libellule e tricotteri, fino alle pendenze aride e solari della riserva. Dedicheremo particolare attenzione alla fotografia botanica, andando alla ricerca delle rare orchidee selvatiche, per poi alzare lo sguardo e studiare la composizione del paesaggio lacustre dalle iconiche scogliere a picco sul Garda. Il corso è rivolto a chi vuole affinare la tecnica della macro-fotografia e del paesaggio, imparando a leggere il territorio per valorizzare sia il dettaglio invisibile che l'ampio orizzonte, nel rispetto assoluto dell'ambiente.

Africa - Zambia - Explore South Luangwa - Leopards and more!

There are few places in Africa as raw and rewarding as South Luangwa National Park. Known as the home of the walking safari and one of the best places on the continent to see the elusive Leopard, this is where patience and passion for wildlife truly pay off. Set along the winding Luangwa River, the park is bursting with life — from vast herds of elephant and buffalo to hippos crowding the waterways, and predators never far away. But it’s the leopards that steal the show. South Luangwa has one of the highest densities in Africa, offering incredible opportunities to observe and photograph these solitary cats as they move silently through the bush or rest in the trees above. Days are shaped by golden light and anticipation. Early morning drives, slow explorations of the bush, and evenings that come alive with nocturnal action. Whether you’re behind the camera or simply taking it all in, every moment feels immersive and real. This isn’t just a photo safari, it’s a proper wilderness experience. Wild, authentic, and unforgettable.
