In this black and white picture, an African elephant bull walks along the Zambezi river. The trees growing along the river are beautifully framing the elephant. The sunlight shines through the treetops creating deep shadows, which give an exceptional contrast between light and shade.
About The Black & White Elephant Picture
While searching for African elephants, I came across this majestic elephant bull. He was strolling in the distance along the Zambezi river. Of course, I followed him, hoping that on his way, somewhere would be a gap that gives this majestic wild animal a beautiful frame of the trees. As shown above, I was lucky, he walked right through this natural tree frame.
The Lower Zambezi ecosystem has one of the largest elephant populations. On top comes as well as the poaching for the elephant’s tusks and bush meat. On the way to the Lower Zambezi National Park, you will drive through fruit and vegetable plantages. Of course, there is then human and wildlife conflict, as they share valuable resources. Not to forget, the wildlife is eating sometimes fruit and veggies.
The IUCN lists African Elephant, Loxodonta africana, in the Vulnerable category.

Know what you want
The hardest part of looking for a photograph (whether or not of an elephant) is figuring out what you want. Some simple questions will allow you to identify your expectations and not to jump on the first image you come across:
- What feelings should the image convey?
- Should the photograph be taken in the wild?
- What dimensions do you want? (if you are considering a large image, take the time to read our article on the specifics of large format prints).
- Where do you plan to display the photo?
Indeed, if it is in a hall or in a child’s room, it is likely that you will not choose the same photo.
Commonly, elephants represent two things: power and wisdom. In the West as in the East, the elephant is bound to a symbolism of memory – as the saying goes: an elephant never forgets – wisdom and longevity are the other traits that come to mind. In Africa the elephant is also seen as a protector. Attribute of royalty and embodiement of the State, it is at the same time the figure of the father and of benevolence.
You will therefore have an interest in knowing which image speaks to you the most. A lonely elephant in the middle of a landscape will immediately give a graphic aspect and a feeling of majesty, while a matriarch guiding its herd or protecting a small one, will express power and benevolence. These elements have to be taken into account. If unsure, they will help you to decide between two photos.

We will then arrange an appointment that will allow you to come and have a look the images. When this is not possible, we usually arrange a telephone appointment to accompany you in your choices.

Trust your feelings about the artwork
To choose a piece of art, it is essential to listen to your feelings. The idea of investment can be present, but it would be very damaging to choose a photograph with only this idea in mind.
Feelings are also important when it comes to price. It is often preferable to keep from being influenced by an artist’s celebrity or by the price of an artwork. Go to what you like the most, even if it means paying a little more or a little less. It is often better not to buy than to buy by default.
Remember that a priori you will acquire an artwork with which you will live and probably pass on. There has to be a real encounter between the photo and yourself.
