A bit about the project and my involvement: A few months ago I embarked on the most passionate photography project of my life and joined my longtime friend & Film Director, tim gorski, in the fight to save the SE Asian Elephant from extinction.

The SE Asian elephant is facing extinction with as few as 500 estimated wild elephants remaining within Thailand’s borders. Their numbers are being threatened by illegal logging, the animal entertainment and tourist trekking industries combined with reduced birth and survival rates, due to poor conditions in captivity.

Raising awareness & funds for animal welfare causes can be challenging and any help getting the word out about this issue and important documentary film are greatly appreciated.
