Elephant Weighing Itself On A Bathroom Scale

An elephant looks down at it's weight as it stands on a scale in an upscale bathroom. The image is a stock photo parody about the unrealistic expectations people have centered around their weight. Perhaps the weight is a little less important than the level of fitness...after all...with so many different body types out there weight becomes just a number without taking into consideration many other health and aesthetic considerations. But as far as elephants and weight goes...the Indian elephant in this image would typically tip the scales at about 9,000 pounds! A big African Elephant might way 13,000 pounds! Of course, in reality you would never be able to fit an elephant in the bathroom pictured...the image requires a temporary suspension of disbelief to work, and thanks to Stephanie's skill with Photoshop the image does work.  The big guy's body posture is perfect and helps us see ourselves in him creating an emotional attachment, however temporary, that makes the image both attention grabbing and memorable.



Making Anthropomorphic Elephant Images

Making anthropomorphic elephant images is a specialty of ours. Years ago we created a library or archive of elephant images (we rented an elephant specifically for that purpose) to draw upon. When we photographed the elephant we used lighting designed to facilitate Photoshop work. The lighting is strong, but soft and diffused making it much easier to flip and rotate elephant parts without the lighting looking wrong. We also shot a large number of elephant details for all of those yet unimagined elephant images. Some of our elephant creations take over a hundred different images to composite into one final stock photo or greeting card image.  If you don't see the elephant image you need just send us an email...we can probably create just the elephant image you are looking for and probably have already completed the photography for it!

Elephant On A Bathroom Scale

In this hilarious stock photo, an elephant is seen standing on a bathroom scale, looking down at the display with a confused expression. The image is comical because an elephant is a massive creature, and the idea of it stepping on a bathroom scale meant for humans is absurd.

Elephants are known for their size and weight, with adult males weighing up to 14,000 pounds. In contrast, a typical bathroom scale can only accommodate up to 400-500 pounds. So the image of an elephant on a bathroom scale is quite humorous and unexpected.

The elephant in the photo appears to be standing still, as if it is waiting for the scale to give a reading. Its trunk is raised slightly, and its ears are perked up, giving it an innocent and curious expression. The bathroom scale, on the other hand, seems to be struggling to give an accurate reading, with the numbers flickering and jumping all over the place.

The image is an excellent example of the use of humor in stock photography. It can be used to depict a wide range of situations, such as dieting, fitness, or body image issues. It can also be used in more lighthearted contexts, such as social media memes or greeting cards.

In addition to its humor, the image also highlights the contrast between the massive size of an elephant and the small size of objects designed for humans. This juxtaposition can evoke a sense of wonder and amazement at the sheer size and power of these majestic animals.

Overall, the image of an elephant on a bathroom scale is a lighthearted and humorous take on an everyday object. It shows the unexpected and playful side of these gentle giants and reminds us not to take life too seriously.
