STORY

Among the towering legs of the herd, a very young elephant calf keeps close to its mother, seeking comfort and protection in her presence. John Wiseman captured this intimate moment, focusing on the contrast between the massive, wrinkled legs of the adults and the delicate, cautious steps of the calf. The black-and-white tones highlight the intricate textures of the elephants' skin, telling a story of wisdom, protection, and lineage. This perspective offers a rare and deeply personal glimpse into the world of elephants—where guidance, care, and silent communication shape their lives. John patiently waited for the right moment, allowing the frame to speak of both strength and vulnerability. This photograph is not just about elephants; it’s about family, tradition, and the quiet bonds that define the wild.
