ICONS OF AFRICA
-
It has been a dream to pair one of the world's most celebrated mountains with one of Africa's most iconic elephants for several years. I have lost count of the times I have had a clear mountain but no tusker or vice versa. After nearly 100 days in Amboseli, my dream finally came true.
Moments when every element and layer fall into place at the ideal time are few and far between, but there is no better feeling than when they do. The elephant, known as "TJ", is only 34 years old and has one of Africa's most impressive sets of ivory. Considering all the challenges elephants have faced, I find it inspiring that mammoth-like elephants still exist today. Special mention must be given to Big Life Foundation for this image because, without their work, TJ's tusks would most likely have been cut into small pieces in the Far East by now.
What I love most about this image is that it could have been taken a hundred years ago. Both TJ and Mount Kilimanjaro are true icons of Africa, and I hope to have the privilege of capturing TJ’s portrait again in the years to come.
