UNDERLING

A tender moment of a spring brown bear cub in the sedge grass meadow with his mother. The young cub wanted to play but this now more experienced mother was hyper vigilant sniffing out other bears on the wind as they pose a threat to her offspring, which she tragically learnt the year before.

About Artist

Deborah Russell

Deborah is an aspiring wildlife and nature photographer since her first trip on safari in 2017. This marked the beginning of a new passion for wildlife and a curiosity to learn more about photography. Fast forward to today and that passion has only intensified, with wildlife still the focus of her lens, trying to capture and share the moments in nature that tell us a story, convey an emotion or even just to showcase the wonders of Mother Nature.
