This elephant was resting in the shade of a majestic tree, its branches fluttering around it in the breeze. The background was very luminous, the small hill covered in tall grass illuminated by the sunlight from which the pachyderm was sheltering. It was a gentle, poetic, timeless moment. During a slow exposure (1.6s), a single three-stop shutter release allowed me to multiply its silhouette while creating an effect of transparency. I'm often told that this photo is reminiscent of a cave painting, and that's a touching compliment, because I did indeed feel a strong connection with him, accompanying by ancestral vibrations.
