He turns to photography for “relaxation from routine” when he has free time during his lengthy hours.

He enjoys “hikes to unreachable locations, raftings,” and even simple strolling excursions to “observe nature.”

Kislov believes foxes are frequently eager models, despite the fact that he photographs everything from bears and reindeer to wolves and stoats.

“Foxes are interested and may get quite near, and I shoot with wide angle and telephoto lenses,” he adds.
