In the second episode of our Focal Point mini series, we talk to internationally renowned wildlife photographer, John E. Marriot about his book The Kootenay Wolves: Five Years Following a Wild Wolf Pack.

The Kootenay Wolves chronicles Marriott’s tenacious efforts hiking, snowshoeing, and hiding silently in camouflage for hundreds of days to document these wary wolves and their tenuous hold in a home range rife with danger, including tourist traffic, transport trucks, trophy hunters, and trappers. Marriott not only watched this family thrive against all odds but also saw and photographed some truly astonishing behaviours rarely documented in the wild before.

Join us for an exhilarating look into the daily lives of the Kootenay wolves and some photography tips and tricks from the wildlife photography master himself.
