An elephant's face, filling the frame in black and white. Every crease and fold in that skin tells you how long this animal has been walking the earth — texture you'd never notice from further away.
Shot in Tanzania in February 2016, during a morning game drive. This elephant walked straight toward the jeep and stopped a few meters away, watching us as calmly as we were watching her. Our guide — a former poacher who'd spent years reading these animals from the other side — knew exactly how to hold still and let her approach on her own terms. No zoom compression, no crop: this is close to how she actually looked, filling the frame.
The black and white treatment brings out what color would have flattened — every crease and fold in that skin, decades of sun and dust and history written into it. It's a portrait in the truest sense, not a wildlife snapshot.
A piece like this works best where it can hold its own: a home office or study wall, especially opposite a desk where you'll actually look up and meet that gaze. Large format rewards the detail — the texture only really lands past a certain size.
Every print you order goes through one of two trusted print partners — each with real strengths, so the right choice depends on where you live and what you're after.
Labkorner ships worldwide, making it the pick if you're outside Europe or want the widest possible framing options. Beyond canvas, aluminium and fine art paper, Labkorner's speciality is its wood shadow-gap frames — 12 finishes ranging from black and white satin to natural oak, walnut and bubinga, hand-assembled in their lab and built for large-format prints up to 180 x 120 cm. It's the choice when you want a specific, high-end framing look alongside the print itself.
WADM (Werk aan de Muur) prints and ships within Europe only, but brings a few things Labkorner doesn't offer. Their ArtFrame system lets you swap in a new print later without buying a new frame — order just the canvas ("wisseldoek") when you want to refresh what's on your wall. They also produce weather-resistant outdoor canvas, for pieces that live on a porch or in a garden room. Materials range from wallpaper murals and acrylic glass to aluminium dibond and framed photo prints, with delivery typically faster than intercontinental shipping.
In short:
Outside Europe, or want a specific wood-frame finish → Labkorner
In Europe, want to swap prints over time, or need weather-resistant outdoor art → WADM
