Spirit Bear hunting salmon | Limited Edition of 10
In the remote wilderness of British Columbia, I witnessed a scene of primal essence as a Spirit Bear was on a quest for survival, hunting salmon in the clear waters. The bear, with its rare white fur, seemed like a mystical guardian of the wilderness, its actions in harmony with the rhythm of nature. I captured this captivating moment, where the Spirit Bear’s focused pursuit showcased the raw, unscripted drama of nature's circle of life.
The swift motion of the bear amidst the calm waters created a scene of powerful contrast, embodying the essence of survival and the dynamic balance of nature. The elusive salmon, striving against the current, added a layer of urgency to the scene, reflecting the endless cycle of existence.
British Columbia's wild, untouched landscapes provide the backdrop for such powerful narratives of nature, where each creature plays its part in the grand scheme. The Spirit Bear, with its hunting prowess, stood as a symbol of nature's untamed beauty and the ceaseless quest for survival.
This fine-art photograph captures the primal drama and the breathtaking essence of the Spirit Bear hunting salmon in British Columbia's wild rivers. The print invites one to delve into the raw beauty of nature, to feel the pulse of survival, and to appreciate the untamed elegance of the Spirit Bear in action.

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.
