In this episode, I discuss the remote archipelago of Svalbard as both a wildlife and landscape destination, why it is unlike anywhere else on Earth, and why it might be the last word in remote-location nature photography.Svalbard Spring Light Expedition 2027Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us?

In this episode, I am kicking off a new series of deep dive episodes on wildlife species I have been photographing consistently over the last two decades. The purpose of this series is to share my thoughts and experiences photographing various animals in their natural environments around the world; to talk a little about the species, what has worked in photographing them, the time of year, equipment practices, etc. We begin with my favourite animal to photograph: Vulpes lagopus - the Arctic Fox.Arctic Fox PortfolioArctic Survivors Video Support the showWild Nature Photo TravelPhotography Workshops and Expeditions around the Worldwww.wildnaturephototravel.comSupport the Show and fellow Nature Photographer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JoshuaHolko/membershipFind us on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Joshuaholko/Twitter: https://twitter.com/HolkoJoshuaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuaholko/Need to Contact us?
