Phil's editions: Alone now

I'm a French professional photographer living in the Westfjords of Iceland, the most remote region of the country. During the last 10 years, I've been involved in scientific studies conducted by the Nature institute of Iceland and have extensively documented the harsh life of the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) and other species in Iceland.

This picture of a female blue morph Arctic fox was taken in February 2023. After 8 years of monitoring the dominant couple of this area, the story of the male came to an end. He was aged 9, which is pretty old for a fox in the wild, and died shortly after this pic was taken. I didn't want to pay a tribute to him in a sad way, so I decided to do it with this portrait of his partner, who gave birth to his last cubs and perpetuated his bloodline over this little part of Iceland. Long live his memory.
