“Behind the Lens” with Kupol Wildlife Photographer

In spring 2013, we shared some wildlife photography from the Chukotka Region of the Russian Far East in Kinross World magazine. Taken recreationally by Andrey Zagrebelny (Health & Safety Deputy Manager, Kupol) during his downtime, we received a lot of positive feedback from our readers. We decided to get “behind the lens” with the self-taught photographer to learn how he captured the popular wildlife photos.
