Travel company director Mike took the images in South-Kamchatka Federal Sanctuary in Russia last month.
He said: “I’m an underwater photographer of wild animals, but sometimes – like at this moment – I use my camera above the water.

“In the photos, the bears are just walking around the lake – they are searching for salmon as it is spawning season.

“My favourite photo is the one where a mother with a cub already walks away from the camera, and a second curious cub is looking at the camera.”
