Echoes of the Pack
Echoes of the Pack — 2026
For nearly a decade, I have walked the edges of the Arctic with my camera, chasing the lives of polar bears across drifting ice and shifting seasons. In their presence, I found both fragility and power — a species at once magnificent and imperiled. Year after year, I returned to bear witness, to record what cannot be replaced. But alongside the bears, another truth emerged: the shadows cast not only by melting ice, but by rifles. These animals are still taken for sport, not sustenance, their deaths lingering as proof of how easily beauty is reduced to a trophy.
In recent years my lens turned also to the sled dogs of Baffin Island. They, too, are creatures of endurance, tethered to survival in the harshest climate. Yet what I discovered was not a single story, but a fractured one. Some of these dogs knew affection, their bonds with humans unbroken, their strength matched by trust. Others were left to chains, their bodies thin, their eyes dulled by hunger and neglect. When I was attacked, it was not malice that drove their teeth into me, but the absence of care. The scars they left behind are a part of me now — a reminder of what abandonment can carve into a life, whether animal or human.
Through these journeys, I have come to see the Arctic as a mirror: it shows us not only the endurance of its animals but the choices of the people who live alongside them — choices that reveal tenderness or cruelty, reverence or disregard. Standing in that space, I no longer photograph only to document what exists, but to hold a fragile hope that humanity might learn to look differently.
The polar bear taken for pleasure, the dog left to hunger, the ice thinning beneath them all — these are not distant stories. They are the echoes of how we choose to live, and what we choose to honor. I carry these echoes now, scarred but listening, still searching for a reason to believe in compassion amidst the cold.
ECHOES OF THE PACK (PART II)
-
In the icy expanse surrounding Eqaluit, life unfolds in rhythm with the wind, the snow, and the dogs. The musher stands as both leader and companion — a figure shaped by endurance and quiet understanding. Every day begins before dawn, with the cold biting at the skin and the breath of the dogs rising like smoke against the blue horizon.
The bond between musher and team is wordless yet profound — a conversation carried through movement, trust, and instinct. Out here, there is no room for ego or control, only connection. The musher does not command the dogs; they move as one body, one will, through the silence of the ice.
This portrait is not just of a person, but of a way of being — a life woven into the Arctic itself. The musher from Eqaluit is both guide and witness to a vanishing world, where the strength of the pack mirrors the resilience of the human spirit that still listens to the land.

BREATH
-
In the frozen silence of the Arctic, a lone sled dog stands tall against the vast sky. Its fur glows white beneath the pale winter sun, and behind it, the clouds drift outward like soft, ethereal wings. The image captures a moment where strength and grace meet — a guardian spirit rising from the ice, both earthly and divine.
This dog, poised and powerful, seems to carry the essence of the landscape itself: purity, endurance, and quiet majesty. The title “Angel Wings” evokes not only the shape of the clouds but also the idea of protection and guidance — the invisible bond between humans, animals, and the wild world that sustains them.

Echoes of the Pack
Baffin Island, 2025
This is my favorite portrait from Echoes of the Pack.
To me, he represents all the dogs of Baffin Island — descendants of the great Canadian huskies, now transformed by the Arctic into something new.
He carries the history of endurance in his eyes — the weight of survival, the pride of adaptation, the silent strength of a life lived between ice and hunger.There’s nothing tame about him.
He’s not a symbol or a myth — he’s truth.
Born from cold, shaped by necessity, still standing. -

The Last Frame
Baffin Island, 2025
This was the last photograph I took before everything changed.
A moment of stillness — two dogs standing in the Arctic light, unaware of what would follow.
There was a calm before the chaos, a quiet before pain, and yet, even in that instant, something in their gaze felt like a warning, a mirror.Minutes later, they tore through my leg and hand — instinct, fear, hunger, or maybe just the wild reminding me that it doesn’t owe us gentleness.
I survived, but not unchanged.
Every scar carries their story now — a reminder that beauty and brutality are never far apart, especially here, where life still answers only to nature. -

SO YOUNG
-
This image shows a pair of hardy sled dogs standing close together on a vast, snowy landscape. Their fur is thick and matted from the cold and moisture, and behind them, more dogs are visible in the distance, tethered and ready to pull. The scene captures the raw beauty of life in extreme Arctic or sub-Arctic conditions—snow-covered ground stretching to the horizon, with distant mountains under a pale, overcast sky.
These dogs, likely Greenland dogs or Alaskan huskies, are bred for endurance and resilience in freezing temperatures. From about eight months old, they begin living and training outdoors, growing accustomed to the cold, wind, and long days of work. Their thick coats and social nature make them well-suited to life in a pack, where teamwork and strength are essential for survival and sled pulling.
This image beautifully conveys their spirit: alert, determined, and deeply connected to the wild environment they call home.

THE WATCHER
-
This portrait is raw, intimate, and commanding. The close-up gaze of the sled dog fills the frame — eyes steady and unflinching, fur touched by frost, breath visible only in imagination. There’s an ancient intelligence in its expression, a quiet authority that feels almost human yet entirely wild.
The black-and-white tones accentuate every detail — each strand of fur, each speck of ice — transforming the face into a landscape of endurance and spirit. The symmetry of the composition draws the viewer in, forcing eye contact with the animal’s unwavering stare. It’s not just a portrait; it’s a confrontation — between observer and survivor, between human and nature.
This image captures what words rarely can: the soul of resilience. In this frozen silence, the dog is not a companion but a mirror of the Arctic itself — powerful, ancient, and profoundly alive.
