A young Sri Lankan elephant enjoying a quiet moment with its leafy lunch in the wild. These gentle giants are a subspecies of the Asian elephant, and watching this calf feed was both heartwarming and humbling. Photographed during my journey through Sri Lanka's rich natural landscapes — moments like these are reminders of how precious and vulnerable our wildlife truly is.
In the heart of Sri Lanka’s wild Udawalawe National Park, a massive bull elephant in musth walked straight toward our safari jeep. His presence was unmistakable—towering, powerful, and fueled by a surge of testosterone that marks this intense period of heightened aggression and dominance in male elephants.
Captured in black and white, this image freezes that electrifying moment when the boundary between observer and wild nature feels razor-thin. We held our ground for a respectful moment, knowing when to stay still and when to slowly back up.
The tension was real, but so was the awe. This wasn’t just an encounter—it was a raw, unfiltered reminder of nature’s authority and the respect it demands.
Photographed ethically from a safe distance with a telephoto lens.
Black and white treatment emphasizes the drama and timelessness of the moment.
