Limited edition fine art print of 6 – For the first time in my life I was face to face with a wild grizzly bear. She was foraging for food while keeping a watchful eye on my position. With the shelter of my car nearby, I wanted to give her space while still getting intimate images through my 600mm lens. I had goosebumps on my skin as I watched her dig shredding the brush appart with ease. Her powerful claws ripped the earth away. The sound of her breath, the snapping of branches, all a haunting reminder of her size. Photo © copyright by Derek Nielsen
