The Story behind the photo

I’ll never forget the moment I captured this. High above the Arctic ice, in that quiet blue world where everything feels slower and sharper all at once, I watched this curious polar bear pause to sniff the air.

We’d seen that behaviour long before he started swimming, long before any drone left the case. When he finally climbed onto this small iceberg, the scene felt achingly still - fragile, powerful, and unforgettable.

To maintain a safe and respectful distance, I flew my Mavic 4 Pro at high altitude, relying on the zoom lens to capture the details. The final frame is also cropped, so the bear was never disturbed.

Wildlife always comes first. The photograph is simply a window into their world - a way to witness their reality without stepping into it.

Here’s what makes each print special:

  • Ink: Canon Lucia Pro Pigment Inks

  • Printer: Canon imagePROGRAF PRO Series

  • Paper: Fotospeed NST Bright White 315 Signature Paper – a gorgeous 315gsm matte paper made from 100% cotton rag, with a soft, natural texture. It’s Fine Art Trade Guild–approved and, with these inks, is designed to last over 85 years.

The listed size is the paper size. Each print has a thin white border on the top, left and right, with a deeper white border on the bottom for signing and numbering. This means it’s easy to trim for US-standard frames. Prints are unframed and unmounted – this way, you can choose a frame that suits your home or workspace perfectly.

The Print

This photograph is part of a limited edition of just 35 prints, split between:

  • A3 (297 x 420 mm (11.7 x 16.5 inches))– 20 prints

  • A2 (420 x 594 mm (16.5 x 23.4 inches)) – 15 prints

Each one is a hand-signed archival giclée print that I create myself in my home studio. I only sign and number a print once I’m completely happy with the quality, and every order comes with a certificate of authenticity – my personal seal of approval.

Delivery

Your print will be made to order, carefully signed, and packed by me. Because of this, please allow up to 10 working days for delivery. If you’re ordering internationally, please note that any import duties are the buyer’s responsibility – it’s worth checking what these may be in your country before purchasing.

This image will never be released as an open edition, but I may use it in curated projects like calendars, exhibitions, or box sets.
