Species: Elephant | Location: Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, United Republic of
I spotted a herd of approximately 80 elephants walking through the fields of the Serengeti. It was a dream of mine to capture a bull up close. I waited quietly for hours till one of the larger bulls marched head-on towards me while the rest kept their distance. It was as if he were their protector, and when he sensed I wasn't a threat, he turned and allowed them to march peacefully by. I laid on the floor of the car hoping to capture his magnificent profile with elephants between his legs.
About The Photographer
As a veterinarian, I offer a special look into the eyes and souls of the animals I photograph. My ability to read and anticipate animal behavior allows me to catch "special moments" and give you a glimpse into their rich emotional lives and unique personalities.
Many of the animals I photograph are endangered. I hope that you will connect with them through my lens, love them as I do, and join me in the fight to help them.
My passions also include street photography, travel photography, and interesting land and cityscapes. I take my camera with me always, and love capturing the people of New York City where I live today, and my native home of Jerusalem. But animals will always have my heart...
