Cold Places
This is both a book of some of my favourite images and a record of some of the most spectacular places and memorable animals of the polar regions.

I fell in love with the Canadian Arctic on my first BBC filming trip there in 1998 and have since enjoyed more than 30 trips to the polar regions – working on documentaries and feature films, guiding private individuals and on expedition ships voyaging to the North Pole and south to the Antarctic Peninsula, Ross and Weddell Seas and sub-Antarctic islands.

I’ve had some great adventures in the polar regions, including camping on the floe edge with Inuit hunters in the Canadian high-Arctic, watching polar bears hunting, diving with leopard seals in the Antarctic, working on Russian icebreakers and sailing across the Drake Passage on a very small yacht.

I’m passionate about what I do, and I hope that this comes across in my images so that people will be inspired to want to protect
the wildlife and ecosystems I’ve been fortunate enough to photograph.
