James Lewin’s photography of elephants captures the quiet power and profound emotional presence of these majestic animals. Shot in black and white using large-format film, his images highlight the texture, scale, and spirit of elephants in their natural habitats - often revealing moments of tenderness, resilience, and deep connection within herds. By photographing at eye level and with great patience, Lewin creates intimate portraits that honor the individuality of each animal while also reflecting on the broader story of a species under threat. His work is both a visual tribute and a call to protect one of the most intelligent and endangered creatures on Earth.
