Old bull elephants have to be the most interesting of all to photograph and with a tight portrait being all about textures, there is no question that a weathered and wrinkled individual would be the perfect subject matter. Photographing an elephant at 3.30 in the afternoon allows for an element of harsh light which helped me give emphasis to the deep folds and wrinkles on the elephant’s face through the use of strong shadows. He was proudly on parade as he marched in the direction of females and I love the way he is resting his trunk on his tusk. He doesn’t have a care in the world as he marches on with swagger and grace.
