LUAP writes for DPReview about travelling for ten days on horseback through western Mongolia to create new Photography with The Pink Bear, combining the physical demands of the expedition with a desire to document the landscape and its changing traditions.
LUAP describes preparing for the journey with riding lessons despite a lifelong fear of horses, carrying camera equipment for up to eight hours a day and working through temperatures ranging from 25°C to -15°C. The Pink Bear is photographed physically on location rather than added in post-production, culminating in images made on horseback with golden eagles in the Altai region. The article also reflects on climate change, over-consumption and the gradual loss of Mongolia’s nomadic traditions.
