Grinning Warthog

from $35.00

My guide was very amused that I was taking so many pictures of warthogs. He kept insisting on calling them after the most famous one, Pumbaa - the comical sidekick of the savannah. But I've always loved them for their fierce, quirky character, and I was determined to get a great portrait.

This one was trotting by and, as if on cue, turned toward the camera with its mouth open, tusks on full display in what I can only describe as a grin.

"Grinning Warthog" isn't a portrait of classic majesty; it's a portrait of pure, unadulterated personality. It’s a print that’s guaranteed to make you smile.

A signature piece from the "Portraits of the Plains" chapter of the "Africa's Primal Grace" collection, this photograph is a celebration of the savannah's most charming character.

Print & Medium

To fully capture the wonderful, warm personality of this portrait, my choice for this print is the Hahnemühle Photo Rag. This is a museum-grade, 100% cotton paper with a subtle, fine-toothed matte surface. This non-reflective finish is perfect for a character study, drawing you right into that comical "grin" and the rich textures of the hide without any distracting glare. It gives the print a tactile, painterly quality that perfectly suits its fun, spirited nature.

This print is available in sizes up to 24x30 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
