Maasai Mara, 2022

As seen in William Yeoward, Kings Road, London.

Elephants in the Maasai Mara are not known for having particularly large tusks but you can still find some impressive individuals. When this close to an elephant, you quickly realise that you are not the boss in this situation.

This big friendly giant was right by the track, in perfect positioning to use a 50mm lens. This focal length is ideal for large subjects at close range. It was an incredible moment to photograph him in such close proximity. He was incredibly calm and undeterred by our presence.

Respecting the fact that he was definitely the boss in this situation, we remained still to let him pass.
