Photographer Endures Five Months on Arctic Ice to Capture Polar Bears

“This shoot was a lifetime at every level, working on the ice that is constantly changing, in extreme weather and temperature, and witnessing some truly amazing and intense moments with the polar bears in unreal/otherworldly landscapes,” he says.

“No team has spent that amount of time before with the polar bears, it was a unique chance, but a difficult life not for everyone. You have to consider that out there in winter, every shot is a battle.”
