Once you see these animals free, in their habitat, you can not see them again differently. There is a strange feeling of a natural connection with them, with the wildness, that we can not perceive living in crowded cities. This is where we all belong: to nature. My trips to Africa helped me to realize that. When I was that morning in the dry lake observing a herd of elephants crossing the dusty plain under the harsh sunlight, hearing their breath and their feet smashing the ground,…I felt that intimate connection with the wild. And I made this photograph, minimalism, capturing the essence and mood of the moment.
