Over the years of working with bears I have learned the rules of dealing with these predators. I never hide from a bear. The bear must be aware of my presence. The bear I can see is always better than the bear I canāt see. Unexpected appearance of a man in front of a bear may provoke him to attack. Each bear has its own personal space. For one beast itās 50 meters, for another itās 2 meters. And thatās a boundary they never violate themselves and they donāt let me violate it either. Breaking this boundary in most bears causes aggression or fright, which can turn into aggression. So before you start shooting, you need to study the balance of power.
What are you??

I come to the place of shooting by boat or on foot, sit down, and give the bear a chance to get used to me. I never camouflage or hide, the bear must first of all understand that you are here. Itās better for him to take an interest in you. Sooner or later everyone starts to approach, to look, to smell. If itās a working animal, a film animal, it will come to you, but if it doesnāt want to pose, you canāt make it do that, no matter how hard you try. When I go to shoot, I take not only my cameras with me, but also a guard with a gun. He constantly watches over meā¦
