Finland Wildlife Photography

Finland's dense boreal forests and remote wilderness lakes make it one of Europe's most rewarding destinations for photographing elusive northern predators. Far from crowds, its border regions with Russia offer photographers a genuine chance to capture powerful wildlife encounters against a backdrop of pine forest and still water. It's a country that rewards patience, with subjects that are rarely seen so reliably elsewhere on the continent.

Species NaturesLens Photographs in Finland

NaturesLens runs its Brown Bears of Finland holiday to the Suomussalmi and Viiksimo regions, typically in July, photographing Brown Bear from hides set within the forest. Alongside the bears, NaturesLens also captures White-tailed Eagle as they patrol overhead, along with the more elusive Wolverine and the ever-present Common Raven. This combination of species makes the trip a particularly varied opportunity for photographers seeking both iconic and rarely-photographed northern wildlife.
