BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY from my PHOTO BLIND | Behind the scenes with wildlife photographer Morten Hilmer

Bird photography is one of the very challenging genre of wildlife photography – especially when photographing birds of prey and other shy birds like crows and magpies.

It’s early morning and I am on my way to my photo blind to see if I am lucky to get some nice photos of birds. I have to get there before the sun sets, so the alarm goes off at 5AM!
Join me behind the scenes this awesome day of wildlife photography.

••• WHO I AM •••
My name is Morten Hilmer and I am a professional nature and wildlife photographer. In this series of behind the scenes vlogs I want to share my fascination of nature with you and invite you behind the scene when I am out photographing the fascinating wildlife, the stunning landscapes and the wild nature. I work as a ILCP photographer, and nature conservation is very close to my heart.

For me nature photography is all about sharing the unique experiences and to put awareness to nature conservation. Furthermore my goal is to inspire as many as possible to get out and experience the true beauty of nature.

“I have served in the Danish military special unit, the Sirius Patrol, for two years and that has given me the skills and confidence to operate alone in the arctic regions. I have spent two further years in the northern parts of Greenland meeting the local people and working on photography projects. My driving force is a sense of adventure and my fascination for nature, and my curiosity and empathy for other cultures has led me to many remote regions.”

Beside the many publications my photographs has been awarded in the Wildlife photographer of the year and European Wildlife photographer of the year photo competitions.

In spring 2017 I published my book Silence of the North:

See you out there !

All the best
Morten Hilmer
