Amboseli, Kenya - 2023 
 
This evocative black and white photograph from Amboseli, Kenya, captures the formidable big tusker Michael in a moment of raw power and primal instinct. In the stark contrast of the monochrome palette, Michael, with his imposing tusks gleaming, is seen purposefully pursuing a group of female elephants during musk. The dust kicked up by their massive feet creates a dramatic athmosphere around the scene, emphasizing the intensity and urgency of the chase.
 
The females, elegant and composed, move together with an air of both grace and alertness, aware of Michael’s powerful presence. This image beautifully encapsulates the dynamic and dramatic interactions of these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, showcasing the strength, determination, and timeless beauty of the African elephant
