The story behind the print The March of the Bull Elephants is one of the most amazing photographic experiences I have ever had… I trekked these magnificent seven bull elephants for days, they proved elusive creatures. Eventually, I found the bull Elephants feeding in nearby woods. It was impossible to drive to them. I decided to predict the elephant’s movement. I drove a few km away and parked close to a large game trail close to a waterhole. A few hours later, the bull elephants arrived, they marched in single file, silently towards me, huge and magnificent, the lead bull elephant spread his enormous ears, and that was the moment to press the camera’s shutter. Click, a stunning photograph of Bull elephants marching.
Etosha National Park in Namibia is famous for its "grey ghosts"—some of the largest elephants in Africa. These bull elephants are known for their towering height and bulk, standing out due to their massive size. Interestingly, their tusks tend to be shorter and more brittle than other African elephants, likely due to the soil and water's mineral content and genetic factors. The harsh, arid environment of Etosha also plays a role in shaping these animals. The elephants frequently coat themselves in white dust and clay from the area, giving them a ghostly appearance as they move across the pan, which makes for stunning black-and-white photography.
