Where to Photograph

Bears & Wolves

Bears & wolves are among the most compelling wildlife photography subjects on earth - powerful, unpredictable & deeply connected to their landscapes. Photographing them well requires the right locations, ethical access & enough time to move beyond the initial excitement of an encounter into the quieter, more atmospheric images that define a strong portfolio. From the grizzlies fishing glacier-fed rivers in British Columbia to the brown bears emerging from Finland's taiga forests in the midnight sun, & the wolves & winter wildlife of Canada's boreal wilderness, these holidays deliver sustained access to large predators in settings where the landscape becomes as much a part of the image as the animal itself.
