Carpathian Mountains, Slovakia
‘The search for Brown Bears’
“I spent a week in Slovakia, photographing the elusive brown bears in the Carpathian Mountains.
Although I only saw the bears very briefly, it was a very special time.
The bears are after all wild animals and like all wildlife, there was no guarantee that I would even see any, let alone photograph them.
The few shots I managed to get will remain very memorable”
