Showcase: Forgotten Elephants

The Canadian photographer Brent Lewin, 29, fell in love with elephants as a tourist in 2002, when he rode one while visiting a remote area in the north of Thailand. Before that, most of his interactions with large animals occurred at petting zoos. Mr. Lewin, a contributing photographer at Redux Pictures, has been documenting the plight of Bangkok’s elephants since 2007. Though he’s only been photographing seriously for three years, he has made a series of elegant and elegiac images.
