King of the Forest
DESCRIPTION
On a cold spring morning in Finland, a male capercaillie begins its majestic courtship. In the crisp air, its breath turns to mist as the sound of its display carries across the silent landscape.
AUTHOR
I am a communication specialist and freelance journalist with a lifelong passion for nature photography. Conservation is close to my heart, and I enjoy capturing images and stories related to it. When photographing wildlife, I strive to document animals in their natural habitats without influencing their behavior.

On my photography website, www.valokeilassa.fi, I showcase nature photography destinations from around the world, featuring my own images as well as photographs by Finnish professional photographers. On Instagram, I enjoy networking with photographers from all over the world. www.instagram.com/terhi_paavola
