INDIA’S ELEPHANTS BOOK
Annette Bonnier - Photography
Bonnier made her first trip to India in 2007 and fell in love with the people
and their dynamic culture. She became fascinated by the role of the
elephant in Indian society, one that wavers between the animal as an
enlightened, spiritual being and as a beast of burden.
During her travels around India, she captured elephants at work in the
logging industry and in tourism; photographed wild elephants in Assam,
polo playing ones in Jaipur, and even elephants swimming in the Bay of
Bengal using their trunks as snorkels. She saw elephants painted for
religious festivals, and blessing worshippers at Hindu temples.
As attitudes toward animal welfare and conservation change, this complex and
highly intelligent creature is caught in a changing world between past and
future. This collection of photographs will act as a cultural documentation
of elephants in India for many years to come.
