Portrait with Giant Paws
Portrait with Giant Paws
About to sample a drink of water or taste salt and mineral from the shoreline rocks, this Polar Bear shows off his enormous paws in a zoomed in portrait. Prior to my research, I didn’t realize their paws are webbed to enhance their swimming ability. His eyes look up toward me as I photographed him from a rib boat offshore with a 600mm lens. Vertical image.

Polar Bears are the apex predator, the largest bears in the world. I wanted to see them before they disappear, especially in Svalbard where the ice is melting 7 times faster than anywhere else in the world. I am so grateful for such an incredible and profound experience. I left my heart there and vowed to advocate for arctic wildlife. All images are taken from a respectful and legal distance, using a 600mm lens and many are cropped.
