Into the Wild — Last Days | The Story
Close your eyes. Now open them. You are here.
He walked at the front of the family, full of confidence, unaware that this chapter of his life was drawing to a close.
His young tusks had only just begun to emerge. Behind him came his brothers and sisters, while their tuskless mother followed with quiet assurance. Bringing up the rear was the matriarch, watching over the family as she had done for decades.
Nothing about the moment suggested change.
Yet these were his last days as part of the herd.
Soon, instinct would take over. The family that had protected him since birth would gently push him away, and he would begin a different journey, learning to live alongside other young bulls before one day walking alone.
Watching them, I was reminded that every family, whether elephant or human, eventually reaches this moment.
Love is not measured by how tightly we hold on.
Sometimes, it is measured by having the courage to let go.
I called this photograph Last Days.
A quiet reminder that every ending is also the beginning of something new.

Collector Stories
Reflections from collectors who have welcomed Peter Delaney's artwork into their homes around the world.
After some delay, I finally had 'Bonds of Love' framed and placed on my bedroom wall, a gift from my husband for our 50th wedding anniversary. He passed away not long after, and two years on, this photograph continues to comfort me. It is the first thing I see every morning, and it gladdens my heart.
This is not a photograph hanging on a wall. It is a window into something vast and unhurried.
To have one of Peter Delaney's images in your home is your connection to a world few of us will ever experience, and a connection to nature and the earth that is truly rare.
Queen of the Mara has occupied a central place in our living room since 2020. It helped us feel connected to the world at a time when we... weren't.
Each print carries its own story, creating a lasting connection between the collector and Africa's wild places.
