New prints - Elephant Series
Since returning from Kenya in June, I have been working hard to edit select and edit the 40,000 images I took. Spending time with these elephants are moments I will always cherish, and since they are my little brother’s favorite animal, I have released a series of elephant prints. Color prints will be offered on 13” x 19” Moab Juniper Baryta Rag Paper with a slightly glossy surface. Black and White images will be offered on 13” x 19” Hahnemühle Matte FineArt Photo Rag. Each print is signed, numbered, and limited to twenty-five prints each.
Below, I have created some mock ups of what a framed print might look like in your home.
Step into the awe-inspiring realm of the African wilderness with "Guardian at Golden Hour," a captivating fine art print that documents a profound moment between a mother elephant and her perceived threats—us, the viewers. Set against a backdrop of dust particles illuminated by the golden hour light, this photograph is a visual masterpiece and a testament to the universal instincts of maternal protection.
On an expedition to Amboseli National Park in Kenya, I found myself graced with the presence of an elephant family crossing a rugged road. A mother elephant caught my eye as she transformed from a nurturing parent to a formidable guardian within moments. Sensing our proximity as a potential threat, she resolutely stood to shield her family, filling the air with a palpable tension. The golden hour sun further accentuated the drama, casting an orange glow across the scene, which mingled with the suspended dust particles to create an almost ethereal atmosphere.
The photograph encapsulates an array of vivid hues ranging from deep grays to glowing oranges. The mother elephant, lit by the falling sunlight, assumes an almost surreal aura, embodying both the beauty and fierceness of nature.
Like all my art prints, "Guardian at Golden Hour" uses the highest quality printing techniques and materials, ensuring durability and color fidelity.
Delve into the captivating world of the African elephant with "Muddy Majesty," a striking black-and-white fine art print. This arresting portrait is a testament to the raw, unfiltered emotion and dignity emanating from one of the Earth's most awe-inspiring creatures.
The Moment Behind the Shutter
This close-up portrait was captured in Amboseli National Park, Kenya, where I had the rare privilege to photograph an elephant fresh from a mud bath. The elephant, cloaked in layers of sun-baked mud, appeared like an ephemeral sculpture, a moving work of art molded by nature and time.
Visual and Emotional Depth
In opting for a black-and-white palette, the photograph transcends the distractions of color, focusing instead on the intricate textures of mud on skin and the profound wisdom mirrored in the elephant's eye. The monochrome tone lends the image an air of timelessness, capturing a slice of eternity in a moment's frame.
Unmatched Quality
"Muddy Majesty" is rendered using state-of-the-art printing techniques and can seamlessly integrate this piece into your interior décor.
Step into the breathtaking world of African wildlife through "Sunset Embrace," a mesmerizing fine art print capturing an intimate moment between a mother elephant and her nursing calf set against a glorious African sunset.
This snapshot of serenity was taken during the precious minutes of an orange-hued sunset deep in the African savanna. A mother elephant and her calf, lit by the dying embers of the day, share a quiet bonding moment, oblivious to the rest of the world. Their silhouette is elegantly framed by a lone acacia tree and soft, hazy mountains in the distance, offering a glimpse into life's quiet but profound moments.
This fine art print invites the viewer into a world where time stands still. The warm shades of orange in the sunset serve as a stark contrast to the silhouettes of the mother and baby elephant, emphasizing their presence while allowing them to meld seamlessly with the vastness of their natural habitat.
"Sunset Embrace" is printed on Hahnemühle archival quality paper, known for its durability and vibrant color reproduction, ensuring that the nuances of this emotional moment are faithfully captured.
Discover the hidden tales of the African savanna through the captivating photograph "Muddy Mystique." The photograph is a close-up of an elephant's eye and ear covered in a layer of mud, which protects the elephant's skin. This intimate shot offers a glimpse into the life of one of the most revered and enigmatic creatures on earth. At sunset, the elephant finds comfort in a mud bath, creating a graceful and formidable mask that serves as armor and spa.
The photograph was taken with great attention to detail, bringing to life every wrinkle, hair, and speck of mud. The elephant's eye holds a gaze that speaks of untold stories of survival, wisdom, and the natural cycles of life and earth. This gaze highlights the awe-inspiring complexity of nature and the deep connection we share with it. Each print is crafted on Hahnemühle archival quality paper, ensuring a long-lasting piece that preserves every remarkable detail of this poignant moment.
By welcoming this photograph into your living space, you introduce a tale of resilience, a study of texture, and a meditation on existence. You don't just hang a photograph; you encapsulate an emotion, a moment, and a narrative, preserving the fleeting beauty of the wild forever.
