Polar bears embody elegance and power, expressing natural poetry through their remarkable resilience and adaptability. This series captures unprecedented images of polar bears in winter, roaming across vast, wild, ice-filled landscapes—a scene from a world almost beyond reality.

This is the story of survival in one of the harshest environments on Earth, far beyond what we imagine of the Arctic realm. Florian spends several months each year on the ice, living close to the bears and observing them for hours each day. This dedicated time allows him to document intimate moments: mating displays, nursing, hunting, and, above all, the emotions these animals experience.

For Florian's heart, the Arctic is more than a passion; it’s a deep commitment, a life choice that has become a true polar obsession.
