Exhibition: Ends of the Earth
This was an exhibition of thirteen photographs, shown in Seattle in September 2025, drawn from three expeditions to the polar regions: Antarctica, Svalbard, and East Greenland. The title was geographic before it was anything else (these are places at the literal ends of the planet, after all) but it was also about the extremes of what those environments ask of you as a photographer and as a person.
Very few people will ever visit either pole. I wanted to show what it actually looks like out there: not the postcard version, but the specific quality of light on glacial ice, the behavior of animals that have never learned caution, the particular visual logic of environments that exist almost entirely outside of human reference. Thirteen photographs is a narrow window into all of that. It was enough to start the conversation.
In search of food, a polar bear navigated the cold, ice-strewn arctic waters of Scoresbysund, Greenland. Pausing for a moment at an ice flow and raising his nose high to track the scent of its prey, this bear’s next meal is not far away.
It's vital to stress that this image was captured from a very long distance using a telephoto lens to ensure the bear’s natural behavior was not influenced in any way. Extreme care was taken to ensure the bear did not notice the camera whatsoever. Respecting wildlife is always the first priority.

Looking into the face of a glacier is a genuinely unique and humbling experience. It’s difficult to escape the realization that the age of such ice is measured in centuries and millennia and holds within it a perfectly preserved historical record from the era of the dinosaurs.
But glaciers are also alive, and they’re always moving and evolving. A section of this particular glacier face, Lilliehöökbreen in Svalbard, had begun to erode from below, forming a massive ice cave which extended far into the abyss. As birds circled and darted through the opening and ice calved from all sides of the cave, I knew in that moment: it was only a matter of time before a total collapse.
