Animal Portraits – Eye of the Elephant

Photographers shoot portraits of people. Something unusual for us: converting images of animals into portraits.

My favorite animal is an elephant. The Eye of the Elephant is “part adventure story, part wildlife tale,” recounting the struggle to save these innocent animals from decimation, a journey to cultivate support around the globe for the protection of elephants

White Squirrels

Portraits of live white squirrels in Silvermont Park, Brevard, North Carolina.

Seeing a white squirrel is rare overall, but in some areas, they have established colonies where they are relatively common. Brevard, North Carolina, is known as the “Home of the White Squirrel” and has a large population, with some estimates saying a third of the squirrels there are white.

Giraffe Portraits

The Forest Edge habitat at the North Carolina Zoo has giraffes and zebras. Guests can see the animals at four different viewing areas. The habitat is 3.5 acres and mimics the lightly wooded savannas found in Kenya.Here are portraits of giraffes from the Giraffe Deck, where you get eye-to-eye with these long-legged giants and even feed them.
