'At The Foot of The Mountain' - Kenya 2023 8 days... 'At The Foot of The Mountain' had been on my mind for a long time and was one of the reasons I visited Amboseli National Park back in October 2023. I wanted to capture this elephant behaviour which is so classic - elephants marching in single file. Classic and epic? Yes... But not as easy to capture as one might think. Let me list a few things that I was looking for when creating this image to paint the picture. - Elephants need to march after each other. - They need to come towards me at an angle to be able to see all the elephants. - Other photographers on site need to act professionally not to scatter or scare the elephants. - They need to march at a similar distance from each other without major gaps in between individuals. - A cloudy day. - Lead elephant needs to flap its ears at the right time to have the classic look of an elephant. - Lead elephant needs a decent set of tusks. - A clean background without bushes or trees. - I needed to shoot from a lower angle to emphasise the might of these elephants. - I wanted the elephants as close as possible to avoid the longest telephoto lenses. - All this has to happen close to a road since in most areas you are not allowed to drive off-road. Day 8... It was a cloudy day and I was waiting patiently in my spot. Many groups of elephants had passed but none that ticked all the boxes. Suddenly a group left the small waterhole in the distance and came towards my vehicle. The lead elephant had a decent set of ivory and they lined up nicely. This time it all came together and 'At The Foot of The Mountain' was created. From a limited edition of only 20, this work is printed on Hahnemuhle Baryta paper, which sets the standard for image definition and color depth. Each print includes a certificate of authenticity and is signed and numbered on the front below the image and also at the back. For other sizes, please contact me through www.johansiggesson.com

A wildlife photographer from Sweden residing on the small Mediterranean island of Malta. From an early age I was passionate about animals and the natural world. Before Animal Planet, Nat Geo Wild and the likes, I was always glued in front of the weekly nature program on Swedish state television. No matter if it was lions in Africa, wolves in Yellowstone or Polar bears in Svalbard, I practically grew up with Sir David Attenborough’s voice at the back of my head. From the moment I bought my first digital camera I was hooked. The creativity that is unleashed with instant feedback on the screen, variable ISO and more or less unlimited image capacity is something that really appeals to me. This, combined with a passion for animals, is a recipe for a wildlife photographer. In early, 2019 I was one of the fortunate to be accepted into Sweden’s most prestigous nature photography association called Naturfotograferna/N. A great honour! - European Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2018 (Category Winner) - Travel Photographer of the Year 2017 (Category Winner) - Scottish Nature Photographer of the Year 2014
