Wildlife / Animals 2nd place winner

These images are part of my latest and still ongoing photo series "Eye to eye with arctic foxes" and were all taken amidst the harsh Arctic environment of the beautifully unique Svalbard archipelago.
The viewer is to be accompanied eye to eye with the arctic foxes through a year in their habitat.
In the pictures, the constancy of their curiosity is repeatedly complemented by the changes in their outward appearance as well as in their environment in the rhythm of the seasons.

Since my childhood I have been fascinated by wildlife and the different habitats. As a child, I lived with my parents right on the edge of the forest, which is why I was often out in the woods with them and developed a deep affection for nature. When I became a teenager, I developed a great fascination for the north of Europe and the Arctic, where I can often be found today, trying to raise awareness about the need to protect the incomparable beauty of this untamed arctic region.
My greatest passion about wildlife photography is to capture the encounter between me and wild animals as familiar as possible to give the viewer an intimate and magical moment into the unique life of this mystical beings.
