The Brown Bear walks along the shores of Lake Kuril in Southern Kamchatka, searching for the best spots to hunt Salmons. Ilyinsky Volcano in the background is one of the best known landmarks of Kuril.

My greatest life passions, nature and photography, takes me into the wild. As an adventurous wildlife photographer, I travel in extreme conditions to the remotest places on earth, capturing images of rarely viewed animals in their natural habitats. I believe that a unique perspective, in photography and life, can actualize any vision. My lifelong mission is to take pictures that were never taken before, through which I’m able to raise awareness to pressing environmental issues.
