STORY

As the sun dipped below the horizon, John Wiseman witnessed a moment of pure harmony—three elephants, spanning generations, drinking together in perfect unison. Their movements were fluid, their connection undeniable. The scene unfolded at the water’s edge, where the tranquillity of the evening mirrored the peaceful rhythm of the herd. Being able to capture this family drinking in unison late in the day made it the perfect moment for black and white. The deep shadows and highlights accentuate the intricate textures of their skin, the graceful arc of their trunks, and the gentle ripples forming beneath them. This image is more than a portrait of wildlife—it is a testament to the bonds of family, survival, and the quiet beauty of the natural world.
