“I have always loved wild, unspoiled nature and I became a hunter with the idea that I would have a specific goal to do long hikes. The most interesting for me was the high mountain hunting - the most difficult hunting. During one of the hunts, I managed to shoot a Chinese ram, the largest ever shot in China.
And then something inside me turned over and I realized that there was no point in moving in that way anymore. The emptiness and silence after the shot knocked down the animal disturbed my harmony and unity with nature. And since then I prefer the camera to the rifle. I haven't dropped it since. This is my weapon of choice in all my travels and adventures. I visited all continents, in hundreds of unexplored corners of our planet, and suddenly found that those with whom I had been on opposite sides of the barricades until yesterday now fully supported me and welcomed my success. In my travels I try not only to capture the habits of wild animals, but also to convey some of the beauty of the wild world!”
