TITLE: Guardians of the Frozen Realm

This frame portrays a beautiful moment I witnessed in the frozen part of the planet. A vigilant mother polar bear stands tall, her gaze scanning the icy horizon keeping her baby under her protective shadow, while the curious cub is looking up to his mother.

I am a wildlife photographer for close to a decade now and a perpetual student of nature. I love traveling the globe and documenting the amazing creatures that share our planet. My special interests are in birds, apes and wild cats. My goal is to use my photography to inspire others to love the outdoors and to take action to protect wildlife and their habitats. I believe that everyone has a role to play in conservation. By learning about the threats facing wildlife and forests, we can make informed choices about how to live more sustainably. I am committed to using my photography to raise awareness about the importance of conservation. I believe that by sharing my images with the world, I can ignite some love in the hearts of the people for our natural world.
