"Orange is the New Black" was photographed at Sheldrick’s Reintegration Unit for Orphaned Elephants at Ithumba in Tsavo East, Kenya in June 2018.

The Story behind the Shot:
During our last visit to The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust unit in Tsavo East, we got to see quite a few wild and curious elephants that kept watching the orphans during their mud bath. Some interacted with the orphans, some were swimming in the water with them, some just watched from the side, and then there was this big guy...
He wanted everyone's attention, and he made sure he got it. When he was swimming in the water, he kept splashing everywhere with his trunk. When he was out of the water, he kept trumpeting loudly and running around from side to side. And when he found the “orange” dirt, he took over the little mound and threw dust in the air, creating big orange clouds.
Here he is half way through putting the orange "make up" all over his body.
Quality Assurance:
Open Edition Giclee Prints are printed to the same high printing standards as Limited Edition. Each print has a wide paper border and is hand signed by me just beneath the image area. I check each one to ensure quality before it is sent to the buyer. All prints are printed to art gallery standards on high quality, acid-free papers with archival inks to ensure light fast durability. All sales are final.
