About the Item

A black-and-white animal portrait of two Baby Elephants playing in high grass, photographed by Joachim Schmeisser in 2017. All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. In the heart of the African savannah, two baby elephants delight in playful antics amidst the tall grass. Their tiny bodies are barely visible among the swaying greenery; their trumpets and wagging tails reveal their joy. Their exuberance lights up the landscape as one jumps on top of the other. Elephants live in close-knit family bonds led by a matriarch. They are highly social beings and exhibit remarkable intelligence, problem-solving skills, and emotional depth, communicating through vocalizations and gestures. Elephants face grave threats such as habitat loss and poaching, risking their survival. Yet, amidst these challenges, scenes like these serve as a poignant reminder of the beauty and resilience of these magnificent animals. It underscores the importance of conservation efforts to ensure their continued presence in the wild, which Joachim Schmeisser tirelessly supports with his works. Majestic and fragile – Joachim Schmeisser’s wildlife photography is as complex as the reality before his lens. The German photographer works with African conservation agencies and trusts to portray and protect the animal kingdom. Schmeisser’s photographs of lions, rhinos, elephants, or cheetahs are not mere images but encounters with nature. Encounters that show not only the relationality of these majestic creatures but also the interdependencies of our ecosystem. Expansive skies, the soft tips of savanna grass, and the almost biblical light drenching Schmeisser’s scenes make his photography an intimate and emotional experience.
