What you’ll learn


The OM System - Your Own Way


One of the reasons why I love my OM System gear is the way I can customise buttons, dials and settings to truly make it work for me as a wildlife photographer.

In this course, my aim is to share everything about how I use and setup my gear for wildlife photography so that you can get a head start and spend more time in the field making photos.

  • OM-1
  • E-M1X

About Espen Helland


OM SYSTEM Ambassador



Hei hei!  I’m Espen Helland, a Norwegian wildlife photographer based in Perthshire, Scotland. I switched to Olympus in 2020 and I haven't looked back. I’ve really enjoyed learning to use the system and I have taken some of my all time favourite wildlife photos with my lightweight, super fast OM System gear.


In 2022 I became an OM SYSTEM Ambassador, a title I'm incredibly grateful and honoured to hold. I'm excited for what the future holds for OM System and for us, and what we'll create with our gear. And I’m really excited to share what I’ve learned about the OM System in this course - I hope it will show why I love using it.



Testimonials


"Espen’s videos with practical and easily understood advice were of real benefit to me. I gained a better understanding of the camera’s menu and how to set it up with the ideal settings, and in its use. I felt the benefit of having this knowledge before heading out, for me it was definitely worth the purchase."

"This is a fantastic course! I've been shooting Olympus for years, but there were so many features that I didn't fully understand and wasn't taking advantage of. The course is very well organized, easy to follow, and broken down into small lessons that allow you to take it at your own pace. Highly recommend!"

I will highly recommend the course not only to those who are new to the Olympus system, but also to photographers, who like me, are not professional. But looking to broaden our photographic horizon.”
