This Pink Elephant is a concept stock photo adaptable for a wide variety of uses.
A Pink Elephant can be used to illustrate advertisements or articles that deal with unrealistic expectations, misconceptions and/or misinformation. What makes this image effective is the unexpected nature of actually seeing a pink elephant along with the ingrained nature of the meaning of "Pink Elephant" in our cultural heritage.
I photographed the elephant in Thailand in a variety of poses. I chose this pose because it is subtly more dynamic than an elephant just standing in place. In this shot the elephant has his feet close together, his head held up, and his trunk raised above his head. I used Photoshop to color the otherwise grayish elephant into a bright pink color.
