Polar Bear Fine Art Photography Prints
Two polar bear images, shot on separate expeditions to two of the most northerly places on Earth where bears still range freely. King of Ice was made in Scoresby Sund, East Greenland — one of the most remote fjord systems on Earth, where polar bears are hunted by local communities and rarely show themselves. Arctic Canvas was made in Svalbard, the Norwegian archipelago at 78°N, spotted as a flash of white against a white landscape while tracking a swimming walrus. Both are the result of expedition work in conditions where bears are genuinely difficult to find — no baiting, no feeding, no staged encounters — and where the animal's presence in the frame is a function of patience, ice, and luck. King of Ice was the cover of Canadian Photography (CAPA) Magazine and featured by BBC Earth; Arctic Canvas was also published in CAPA. King of Ice is the Signature Edition of 15; Arctic Canvas is a Fine Art Edition of 30.
King of Ice
One of the most remote fjord systems on earth, where polar bears are hunted by local communities and are not easily seen. On our first zodiac outing from the expedition vessel, in the fading evening light, this bear rolled lazily atop its perch - completely unbothered and sovereign. We never saw another one for the rest of our expedition.
Arctic Canvas
Svalbard is the northernmost inhabited archipelago on earth. While tracking a swimming walrus from our zodiac, a flash of movement caught my eye - spotting a white bear against a white landscape is harder than it seems. We edged closer and I was able to compose this apex predator against the pure white canvas of the Arctic.
Each print is produced in Toronto on Fine Art Photo Rag, Acrylic Face-Mount, or ChromaLuxe HD Metal. Fine Art Editions of 30; King of Ice is the Signature Edition of 15.
