One Big Bull
I took several shots for them but in side ways! but i wanted to take a shot face to face with the herd. So i told the driver the shot i have in mind so he drove really away from the herd but we couldn't park the vehicle in away that i can take a shot! there was trees all around us and the elephants may charge against us and we dont have time to re-position the vehicle! So i decided to get out of the car and get a low shot and jump back into the car! The path of the elephants got narrower and they squeezed together giving this formation of one big bull! if wasn't for the lower ear of the back elephant on the right of the image then it would be a perfect picture!
Born in Kuwait in 1976 & as a holder of a degree in Communication Engineering, he had never foreseen himself becoming the professional & award winning photographer he is today. He does however attribute the spark of passion for photography at a young age to two important factors: his Father, who regularly took photos & videos of the family, which taught Mohammad the importance of “capturing the moment” & the second factor is Kuwait’s unexplored landscape & gorgeous diverse nature combining the desert & sea.
