Let’s Work Together in the Faroe Islands
Are you planning a photography trip, leading a workshop, or creating a media project in the Faroe Islands? These islands are breathtaking — but also unpredictable, with fast‑changing weather, hidden locations, and unique guiding rules. That’s where I can help.
Your Local Faroese Photography Expert
I’m Bogi Olsen — a Faroese landscape photographer and licensed guide. I know the Faroes in every season — from wild winter storms to calm summer sunsets. My work has been featured on National Geographic Your Shot, and I can support photographers, agencies, and brands in creating meaningful Faroese experiences.el agencies, and brands looking to plan successful projects in the Faroe Islands — from workshops and tours to creative campaigns.
I speak Faroese, English, and Danish/Scandinavian fluently and guide year‑round. More and more visitors now choose a Coolcation — escaping Europe’s heatwaves for the Faroes’ crisp air, golden light, and dramatic landscapes.
Faroe Islands Still Photography with Local Insight
I’m first and foremost a still photographer, working with a mirrorless camera, iPhone, and drone. While still images are my focus, I can also provide simple video clips if your project requires them.
Growing up here has given me a deep instinct for Faroese light and weather. From capturing puffins on Mykines to watching the mist clear at Múlafossur, I’ve learned how to anticipate the moments no forecast can predict.

When Richard Watson visited to prepare for our 2025 photography tour, we spent an afternoon on a quiet Faroese beach experimenting with ICM photography. It became one of the trip highlights — the kind of moment that only happens when you know the Faroes inside out.
