Foggy Elephant

Foggy Elephant Photography captures the rare and majestic beauty of urban city life through my iPhone. I want to show the world that we can find beauty in even the most unexpected places. My hope is that by viewing these photos, people will be inspired to go outside and explore their own cities. The elephant photos are also very unique in my composition, as I show the elephant from a low angle with only its head and trunk visible above the fog. This gives the viewer a glimpse into the animal’s world, making them feel connected to this majestic creature.
