Adventure Photographer, Filmmaker & Outdoor Guide — Finland & the Nordics
I'm Oscar Manguy, an adventure photographer and filmmaker based in Finland, working across the Nordics and in remote locations worldwide. I create films and photography that capture the raw beauty of adventure and nature — visuals that feel real, inspiring, and deeply connected to place, whether for marketing, social media, or brand campaigns. My work blends the eye of a photographer with the field experience of an adventure guide: a non-intrusive workflow that brings audiences into the heart of every journey.
Who I work with: expedition teams, adventure and travel companies, tourism boards, marketing agencies, outdoor and wellness brands, and personal brands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire an adventure photographer in Finland?
Film and photo production with Oscar Manguy starts at €1,080 per day, excluding VAT and travel costs. Creative editing and post-production starts at €540 per day, and every project gets a custom quote based on location, duration and deliverables.
Where are you based, and where do you work?
I'm based in Finland and work across the Nordics — Finland, Lapland, Norway, Sweden and Iceland — as well as remote locations worldwide. Travel is never an obstacle: expedition-style shoots in hard-to-reach places are my specialty.
What's included in a production day?
A production day covers pre-shoot planning, a full day of shooting in the field (photo, video or both), and secure backup of all footage. Editing, colour grading and final delivery are quoted separately or bundled into a project package.
Do you shoot both photography and video?
Yes. I work as both an adventure photographer and filmmaker, so brands get stills and film from a single shoot — ideal for campaigns that need consistent visuals across web, social media and advertising.
What are the adventure photography trips like?
They're small-group, hands-on journeys into epic Nordic landscapes where you sharpen your camera skills and learn visual storytelling in the field. Trips start at €2,500 per person and combine guiding, photography coaching and real adventure — not a classroom.
Do I need previous photography experience to join a trip?
No. Trips suit everyone from enthusiastic beginners to working professionals; coaching is adapted to your level. You'll need your own camera and a reasonable level of fitness for the terrain — everything else is guided.
Can you handle winter, water and remote expedition conditions?
Yes — that's the core of my work. As a trained adventure guide I shoot safely in Arctic winter, on and around water, and in remote off-grid locations, with workflows and equipment built for harsh conditions.
Do you work with international brands and agencies?
Yes. I work with adventure and outdoor brands, tourism boards, agencies and expedition teams internationally. Projects can be delivered in English, and I regularly travel outside Finland for shoots.
How far in advance should I book?
For brand shoots, 4–8 weeks ahead is ideal so we can plan around weather, light and locations; last-minute productions are sometimes possible. Photography trips have limited spots and are best booked 2–3 months in advance.
