Frozen Breath

from $35.00

The biting cold of that Lamar Valley day had a timeless quality. It was likely near midday, but the heavy overcast sky suspended the world in a perpetual, frigid morning. This intense chill settled deep, and inside the snowcat, the decision was made to forgo heat—a choice that etched the cold into memory, all to protect the delicate camera lenses from fogging. This image, capturing the visible exhalation of a bison, serves as a stark reminder of one of the most intensely cold days ever experienced in the park's interior.

The photograph portrays a bison advancing through a landscape blanketed in snow, its massive form dominating the frame. Particles of ice and snow cling to its shaggy coat and beard, testament to the harsh environment it navigates with resilience. Its breath, a fragile plume in the frigid air, emphasizes the extreme temperatures and the creature's enduring presence.

A signature piece from the 'Winter's Sovereigns' chapter of 'The Frozen Kingdom' collection, this print is a testament to the raw beauty and formidable challenges of winter in the wild, captured through the lens of personal endurance.

Print & Medium

Given the dramatic contrast and intricate textures of this black and white image, highlighting both the bison's coarse fur and the ethereal quality of its frozen breath against the stark white snow, my premium paper choice is Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308. This 100% cotton rag paper offers a smooth, matte finish that will preserve the deep blacks and subtle tonal gradations, providing a rich, velvety feel that complements the tactile nature of the subject while preventing reflections from detracting from the fine details.

Maximum print size: 24x30 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
