Panda bear eating bamboo at zoo in Chengdu China | Limited Edition of 10
While visiting a zoo in Chengdu, China, I had the pleasure of capturing a captivating moment of a panda bear enjoying its favorite meal, bamboo. This engaging photograph showcases the panda's natural eating habits and the beauty of this beloved, endangered species, drawing the viewer into a moment of serenity and admiration for these gentle creatures.
Chengdu, located in the Sichuan province, is famous for its panda research and breeding centers, which work tirelessly to preserve and study these rare animals. Pandas, native to central China's mountainous regions, are renowned for their iconic black-and-white markings and their fondness for bamboo, which makes up the majority of their diet. The photograph highlights the panda's enchanting appearance and its contented demeanor while feasting on bamboo, evoking a sense of connection with the animal.
The composition of the photograph, centering on the panda as the primary subject, invites the viewer to observe and appreciate the intricacies of the panda's behavior and its interactions with its environment. The balance of light and shadow, coupled with the various textures in the image, adds depth and dimension to the photograph, further enhancing its visual allure.

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.
