The Rhino's Escort

from $35.00

Just being in the presence of a black rhino is an experience. They are rare, powerful, and command a palpable respect. We sat with this one for a long time, keeping a careful distance as it calmly walked across the plains.

After taking many pictures of the rhino itself, my attention shifted. I became fascinated by its companions: the oxpeckers. They weren't just perched; they were a living, moving part of the rhino, an "escort" that coexists in a perfect, ancient symbiosis.

I wanted to capture that story—the story of the two species together. This photograph, "The Rhino's Escort," is the result. It’s a moment that freezes their partnership: the massive, steady power of the rhino and the alert, active presence of its feathered attendants, some taking flight, others standing watch.

This print isn't about a single, dramatic action. It's a portrait of a partnership, a quiet but powerful moment of coexistence that is essential to life on the savannah.

A signature piece from the "Africa's Primal Grace" collection, this photograph is a statement of symbiotic power.

Print & Medium

To fully capture the incredible, contrasting textures of this scene, 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 renders the deep, ancient texture of the rhino's hide with perfect clarity while beautifully handling the delicate, blurred motion of the birds' wings, giving the entire image a stunning, painterly depth.

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