THE STORY BEHIND THE PICTURE
Every 20 minutes, an elephant is killed in South Africa for its tusks. The black and white well depicts the sadness of this somber observation; at this rate, in about 15 years, elephants will be a thing of the past. Of all the wild animals on earth, man is undoubtedly the most dangerous.
It’s an incredible feeling when a giant of this stature approaches the vehicle. My goal was to get a special elephant photo that i can print in very large format without losing the details of the skin damaged by decades under the African sun. To do this, I needed an elephant that stood out from the others, proximity, light, very precise adjustments, an aesthetic angle and above all, as little movement as possible. The mastodon stopped within 10 meters of the vehicle and the stars aligned for a few seconds for 4 hand held photos of "Broken Tusk"
In addition to poaching, another threat hangs over African elephants ... Man takes the land of the elephant, the elephant seeks to feed on the land of man, losing his harvest, man kills the elephant. When the man in question is a big industry, our opinion is quickly formed ... but when the one who kills the elephant is extremely poor and does so to protect the only way he has to feed his family, we do not know more what to think ... What a vicious circle the big industries have created... This ultra-detailled photo depicts a patriarch who has fought, fights, and will fight for his survival. Long live the elephants!

T-Gonzalez carefully decides the number of prints of each image in its collections to maximize your investment. This edition is shared across all prints. So when the edition is of 10, there will never be more than 10 prints of it regardless of the size acquired by collectors. Prices increase in a logical and structured way each time an edition is sold as the work increases in rarity. This is why the purchase of a limited edition artwork is a great investment.
Three factors determine prices.
1) The more limited the edition, the higher the price $$$
2) The number of remaining prints available $$
3) The format of the work $
