This series, captured at the Solio reserve in Kenya, recontextualizes the Southern White Rhino as a living monolith. By stripping away color, the work emphasizes the prehistoric, armor-like hide—a biological design largely unchanged since the Pliocene epoch. These frames move beyond documentary, capturing the raw, primordial energy of the species: from the quiet tension of territorial distance to the explosive power of a charge. It is a study of a surviving lineage, framed as the final, ancient guardians of the African savanna.
Dr Somdutt Prasad MPSA2, BPSA, EFIAP, GFIP+EFIP/gold, FAPS I have been fascinated with photography from a young age, but in the last decade, I have found more time to dedicate to my passion. I am an eye surgeon, and it is perhaps natural that my interest in the visual sciences attracts me towards photography. Although I take images in many genres of photography, my main interest is wildlife photography. We share the planet with many species, and whilst photography documents them and their behaviour, I see it as part of a wider effort to raise awareness and help conservation efforts.
