Normally when I'm called to photograph bears my mind flits to thoughts of cages and insurance documents, this wasn't the case however when I was contacted last year by Bloom agency to work with them on a new Cow & Gate campaign.
As you can see the bears in question where more the snuggly variety than the grizzly.
Many thanks to Bloom's Karina, Tim & Bobby for making it such an enjoyable day.
