“Ice Cutie”, Antarctica.
I was on an expedition in Antarctica, diving near a huge iceberg. Still a beginner photographer, I was struggling with my gear under the ice cold water. The batteries on my strobes died and I switched to static lights. All of a sudden, two Crabeater seals appeared. They were in a very playful and curious mood - circling around us, moving closer and closer. I'm convinced they were drawn in by those lights. We spent half an hour with the seals - studying each other and looking into each other's eyes as we swam through the sun-soaked ice tunnels. An absolutely unforgettable moment. Subsequently, I’ve learned that setting high expectations and constant pursuit for perfection is not what the world of wildlife expects from you.

Please note that due to white borders, the actual paper size will have an additional 6cm (2,38in) on both the width and the height of your chosen size. These borders will be removed in the framing shop when you will frame the print.

“House of Bears” , Kolyuchin Island, Chukotka, Russia.
Shrouded in fog, the remote island of Kolyuchin in the Russian Far East looked eerie and deserted. Suddenly, I noticed movement in the windows. From our small yacht, seeking shelter from the storm, I grabbed binoculars — and the ghostly shapes came into focus: polar bears. Around 20 of them, mostly males, wandered through the abandoned settlement, exploring windows and doors.
Polar bears are naturally curious and opportunistic. While females with cubs stayed near the shore, the males roamed among discarded fuel barrels. Such a gathering is rare here. Most bears in this region follow retreating sea ice further north in summer. But in September 2021, loose pack ice brought them to the island.
Using a drone with low-noise propellers to avoid disturbing them, I captured an image that felt like a glimpse into a post-apocalyptic world — where nature reclaims what humanity leaves behind.
