The Fine Print

Amboseli, Kenya, 2021

  • Standard: 39" x 49"

    Large: 50" x 63"

  • This is a rare image for me as for once it shows nothing other than the subject. Usually I endeavour to include as much of the animals environment as I can, but for The Fine Print I wanted the viewers entire attention to be on the details in the elephants skin, eye lashes and tusks.

    This was taken moments after my best selling image, Rumble in the Jungle, and the mud across the tusks and trunk came from fighting with another male in a marsh.

    Despite its simplicity, there is so much about this that holds my attention for as long as any of my more seemingly complex images. Every time I look I pick out another little detail I had never noticed before and hope to do so for a long while to come.
