The latest issue #65 of Extraordinary Vision magazine features one of my favourite Polar Bear photographs (from Svalbard in Winter) on the front cover and and includes an article I recently penned on the Art of Polar Bear Photography.

It remains one of the best digital magazines on photography for the iPad and is a continued source of great inspiration.

Svalbard in Winter Expedition March 2018 – A Landscape and Wildlife Paradise
This coming winter (March 2018) I will be leading an expedition to Svalbard in search of spectacular frozen landscapes, Polar Bears, Reindeer, Arctic Fox and more. The Arctic in Winter is a place to inspire the imagination. It is a white landscape bathed in golden light.
The main focus of this expedition will be Arctic winter light, landscape and wildlife. In March and April the light conditions in Svalbard are magical. Usually winter trips to Svalbard are limited to day trips on snow mobiles quite close to the town of Longyearbyen. With our expedition ship we will explore a much bigger area including the western and northern areas of Spitzbergen. Expeditions such as this to Svalbard in winter have only really been possible for the last few years. With our ship now fully prepared for an Arctic winter it is possible for us to sail north from Longyearbyen and explore the spectacular coastline of the Svalbard archipelago.
This unique expedition has been designed to provide the very best possible opportunities to experience and photograph Svalbard in winter light. We expect to meet wildlife such as Polar Bears, Walruses, Seals, Arctic Foxes and Reindeer. At this time of year the sea birds will also be returning to their breeding grounds.
This exclusive expedition is for a strictly limited number of just 12 participants plus leader and is dedicated to winter photography in Svalbard. Currently there are only a few places left before the expedition will be sold out.
We will be using the ice hardened expedition ship M.S Origo that will enable us to skirt the edge of the pack ice searching for and photographing landscapes and wildlife. M.S Origo is widely regarded as the best ship in the Arctic for Photography. Our expedition ship is also equipped with suf cient zodiacs (2 x Zodiac MKV models) and crew for all photographers to be shooting simultaneously with plenty of room to spare for camera equipment – So bring what you need!

I received some exciting news today that the 11th Annual Red Rock Film Festival will be screening Ghosts of the Arctic this November. Nominated for the Best Documentary short category, Ghosts of the Arctic is one of only a handful of films to make the category short list this year. Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend as I will be in Antarctica at the time, but if you happen to be going please drop me a line and let me know how it goes.
The Red Rock Film Festival is an international gathering for cinematic art in Festival City, USA in Utah. It is retreat for independent premieres, films, and panels that both enlighten the senses and empower the mind. This year, films will be screened at the Ramada Inn and Suits in Festival City, 1575 W. 200 N., Cedar City, Utah.
Live-Books Features Antarctica Photograph as Cover Image
Live-Books (website provider for my business www.wildnaturephototravel.com) has just featured one of my Antarctica photographs amongst a series of lead images on its new website. This photograph was taken on my very first trip to Antarctica back in 2011 and remains one of my favourites from that expedition. The inclusion of the human element for scale is not something I do very often in my photography, but there are occasions when it really does work. I am looking forward to heading back to Antarctica in just a few weeks for my White Nature expedition.
Really Right Stuff Feature – How to Choose an Expedition to Antarctica Part Three
Really Right Stuff have just published Part Three of a multi-part series of articles I recently penned on how to choose the right Photographic Expedition to Antarctica. If you are considering a future photographic expedition to Antarctica I highly recommend you take a few minutes out of your day to ensure you make the right decisions when you choose your expedition. Arming yourself with the information in this series will ensure you maximise your own photographic opportunities.
My own expedition to Antarctica this November (Antarctica – White Nature) is long sold out; but if you are interested in travelling on a future expedition you can register your interest by dropping me an email. I will not be offering a standard Antarctica Peninsula expedition in 2018 due to my commitment to the Antarctic Emperor Penguin expedition; however, I may have a future offering for November 2019 and will have more details on this expedition early next year.
