I found this photographer after meeting someone who had his book. His work is absolutely amazing.

Neat stuff, really neat. I wonder how it was pulled off? Where in the world could you go and eat lunch with an elephant?

Or was it all digitally done?

The lady I met said there was a video explaining it at the exhibition in California but she didn't go into it much. I wish I could see the prints in person since there all the size of a large wall.

It's NOT digital wizardry. it's "real" photography.

Thanks David, for bringing this amazing photographer to our attention. I see the Santa Monica show closed a couple of months ago, does anyone know what city they are going to next? I can't find anything about it on his website.

You have my exact problem! I can never get my elephant to sit still or enough lighting to shoot quicker. Maybe my elephant has elephant ADD.
