March 14th 2011 01:16
As reported on the Daily Telegraph, Sergey Gorshkov photographed Bears in the wild at Kurile Lake in Kamchatka, Russia. Sergey spent six years following the bears as they hunted for salmon, paddled in a lake and walked for miles through forest.
Sergey, who lived in a tent in the woods, said: "These photographs show a little of what I saw and lived through living side by side with bears. The lake is the largest spawning ground for red salmon in Eurasia and the best place for bears. They come here every year from generation to generation
"I went there after seeing a television documentary and became absorbed. I go to the woods and stay near the bears in a tent - always fighting with severe weather conditions, curious young bears and even with myself".
"Photographing bears is risky. I have got as close to the bears in the wild as you could in the zoo. It is only now, looking back, that I realise how dangerous it was. Bears have caused more injuries to photographers than lions, tigers, leopards and sharks combined."
