Christopher Simpson, Photographer, New York

Description

This high-angle photograph captured by Christopher Simpson features an elephant wading through a shallow, flowing river. The grey elephant moves through swirling water that kicks up white splashes around its legs and tail. A mahout sits near the neck guiding the animal, while two passengers are seated on a wooden platform harness strapped to its back. The shot emphasizes natural textures in the water, the elephant's hide, and the surrounding environment.
