Behind The Lens:
The pinnacle one of the many, often unseen behaviours that I was blessed to witness during my time in the Arctic was of a male Polar Bear, sliding down the snowy mountainside. As the Bear continued on its journey upward, it exhibited body language that suggested it might slide. It carried on with its saunter, then, suddenly, the Bear fell to the ground, extending its forelimbs and pushing off with its hind legs. I couldn’t believe what I was witnessing, and with my heart pounding in exhilaration, I tracked the bear down the mountainside, firing off countless photographs of the precious moment. It is an image that I had seen before and dreamt of experiencing (and of course, capturing) but I had never expected to be in the right place at the right time.
