During her first trip to East Africa, Melina Schildberg was honoured to encounter this giant tusker called Craig. She describes how ‘he was impressively huge and at the same time elegant and quiet. If you look into his eyes he seems so wise and lonely at the same time.’ As she stood in front of him, the clouds in the background opened up to reveal the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Together they tell a story of solitude and time.
My name is Melina Schildberg, I am 28 years old, and I am a photographer from Germany. I discovered my passion for photography at an early age, but it was only a year ago that I decided to pursue it as a career. With my images, I want to inspire people to see the world from a new perspective and to believe in their dreams. My greatest desire is to reach others through my photographs.
