Large brown bear headshot in Alaska | Limited Edition of 10
I immortalized a moment of raw emotion and power in Alaska's untamed wilderness. The fine art photograph features the intense gaze of a large brown bear, with its eyes meeting the lens as if to share a profound secret with the viewer. The intricate details of the bear's fur, whiskers, and moist snout beautifully contrast with the rugged backdrop of Alaska's breathtaking green landscape.
Alaska, the last frontier of the United States, is a vast expanse of pristine wilderness, teeming with diverse wildlife and natural splendor. I captured this evocative image within this rugged terrain adorned by lush forests and snow-capped mountains. The area is steeped in history, from the Indigenous peoples who have called it home for thousands of years to the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1800s, which attracted fortune-seekers worldwide.
As an artist and photographer, I ventured deep into this awe-inspiring environment, seeking to capture the essence of Alaska's unique wildlife. By honing in on the bear's mesmerizing expression, I aimed to convey a sense of connection between the observer and this majestic creature. In addition, the close-up perspective immerses the viewer in the scene, offering an intimate glimpse into the bear's world and the rugged beauty of its natural habitat.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
