Picture This: Basking in the beauty of elephants

The quiet power of these stoic creatures is beautifully evoked in Federico Veronesi's astounding collection of photographs. From the full herd (pictured here), to the playful mother and child - Elephants are captured in every stage of life.

Veronesi's hope for the book was to capture elephants as the 'last witnesses of a world before humans took over the earth.' He does this magnificently. Their ancient souls shine through the pages and cement them as immovable forces within their environment.

This is a book to bask in and fully appreciate the ways in which Veronesi's photographs evoke the presence of one of the planets most ancient animals.
