The opportunity to communicate with wild animals makes me happy. What I do is partly science, partly adventure and partly art. I am glad that photography has become the main way for me to learn about nature. Now photography is a reflection of the world in which I live. And I do not want to change anything, I do not want photography to become a burden, because then I will lose that feeling of lightness, freedom, and stop shooting. It has long been known that it is impossible to love for money, the same thing in shooting the wildlife - you will not be able to do great work for money. And this remains my philosophy to this day."Bio
