ELEPHANT IMAGES – a rare find

Standing tall with ears outspread to enhance an already enormous bulk, the elephant charges the photographer. At the last possible moment, its bluff called, the huge animal pulls up amidst a cloud of dust and then retreats and the photographer is able to calm down and get some sensational elephant images before the elephant prepares to charge again.

It is extremely dangerous for any photographer to risk being close to an angry elephant, but the passion of Martin Harvey for his work and wild creatures takes him right into the midst of the action. An adult cow will shake her head, kick up dust and trumpet in a typical display of feelings aimed at letting photographers know she doesn't appreciate their presence.

Intensifying land use and increasing concentrations of human populations are making these elephant images more and more rare; and all the more necessary to treasure and preserve. The photos, taken by a passionate and caring photographer, draw attention to the need to help guide a conservation strategy for the elephants.

For certain commissioned projects, the match between the skills of a photographer and the nature of the project is crucial to their success, so if you need some elephant images, they are the kind of subject that should only be given to those with previous experience of photographing a wild animal, because disturbance caused by an unprofessional reflects more seriously on the person commissioning them as it does on the photographer.

Creative elephant images result in elegant, original, imaginative and eye-catching visual solutions. Photographers are not all the same – their library of photographs illustrates their work; their style, and where their passions lie.
