5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Photographs, December 14, 2006

This review is from: Elephant (Hardcover)

South African photographer Steve Bloom says that he first began his interest in elephants as a child. He has apparently never slacked in his interest. Down through the years he has photographed elephants in Africa and in India. Now he brings this collection of pictures of individuals, of herds, pictures taken while sharing a pond with an elephant, or from an airplane circling above. Here are pictures of herds of females and family groups, pictures of single bulls. Perhaps the most outstanding photographs are those of elephants swimming. Elephants swim almost completely underwater with, once in a while he lifts his trunk like a snorkle on a World War II submarine.

Beyond the beautiful there is also happiness, joy, clumbsy youngsters, solitary walks through the forest -- fantastic photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing & unique, January 3, 2007

By 

SF (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Elephant (Hardcover)

Saw his work this summer on the streets of Copenhagen and having been on more than a dozen safariis was blown away by his patience and eye for just the right photo. Images are unexpected and gorgeous. He really captures these animals in a unique way that I have never seen before. Editorial is pedantic and weak.
