Andreas Hinzer is a passionate nature photographer from Gällivare, Sweden, who has been exploring and documenting the rugged and unspoilt nature of Lapland in many different ways since the turn of the millennium. He has not only travelled through the region's well-known forests, lakes and mountains, but has also explored remote areas in Sweden, Finland and Norway. On foot, on snowshoes, by boat or snowmobile, he reaches places far from roads and human civilisation - many of his photo locations are so hidden that he has rarely met other photographers over the years. For Andreas, it is this remoteness and untouched nature that characterises his photography and makes each image unique.

His work reflects not only his connection with nature, but also his ability to capture it in a way that goes far beyond the mere depiction of landscape. Andreas is able to convey the emotional depth and special atmosphere of these remote places. Above all, his play with the unique light of the Far North, which offers 24 hours of uninterrupted sunshine in summer and the magical hours of golden and blue light in winter, gives his photographs an almost magical quality. He often shows us the mystical moments of Nordic nature - from the dense forests and vast tundras of Lapland to the rugged mountains of the Swedish-Norwegian border.

The starting point for many of his trips is the unspoilt heart of Swedish Lapland. For him, these trips are not only an opportunity to create stunning images, but also a personal experience to share with his viewers. His photography is characterised by a mixture of adventure and attention to detail: the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere of the places he visits is reflected in his images, which are also characterised by a deep connection with nature and a keen sense of the small but important details of the landscape.

In addition to his work as a photographer, Andreas also offers professional guided tours and adventure trips to the remote and unspoilt regions of Lapland. These lead to places far from civilisation - deep into ancient forests with no paths or roads, to lonely islands in the Swedish high mountains or to the vast plains of the tundra and taiga. These extraordinary journeys are the opposite of typical tourist destinations: There are no selfie hotspots or crowds, just pure, unspoilt nature. For Andreas it is important to bring his guests closer to the original wilderness in its purest form and to take them on an authentic nature experience away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
