#047 - Craig III

This image was captured at the same time as 'Titanic.' Unlike our first encounter in 2022, Craig was in an open and expansive area, providing a perfect setting enhanced by a brewing storm on the horizon, which added a dramatic and majestic quality to the sky.
 
Craig, known for his gentle demeanor, is a truly special elephant. During this shoot, I aimed to diversify my approach, capturing both close-up portraits with a wide-angle lens and wider shots that included more of his habitat. This close-up quickly became one of my favorites. It features a low angle, a wide perspective, and those incredible clouds in the background—all elements that I often seek in my photography.
