Snow Leopard Wildlife Series The White Panther & the Beasts of Snow

Three years after my first encounter with Snow Leopards in Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh, I embarked on another thrilling adventure to wild Indian Himalayas to film and photograph them. This time, my destination was Uley, Ladakh, and my goal was to try and capture a Snow Leopard hunt on camera.

In episode 1, we’ll meet a Snow Leopard mother and cub and discover the secrets of survival in one of the world’s most challenging terrains. We’ll observe firsthand how the young cub learns the ropes of life in the wild.

Focusing largely on educational and aweinspiring moments, "The White Panther" is more than a wildlife series – it's a testament to the resilience and adaptability of these magnificent beasts.

Filmed on the Canon R5C and RF 800mm f5.6 L IS USM. With Snow Leopards sightings being as far as a mile away from me, even 1600mm with the 2x RF extender fell heavily short. Thanks to the super 35 crop mode on my 8k sensor, we were able to reach a filmable focal length of 2400mm in 5.9k RAW. Scaling that on a 4K DCI timeline, we reached an equivalent of 3360mm. Yeah, Snow Leopards can be far, man!
