Oh,  this is lovely! I am tipsy and soon to bed, I will start on it tomorrow if no one has cracked it. What are the exact details you require for a win?

At least two of these three:

-the elephant's name
-the name of the property it was taken on (because you know a house like that has a name)
-the name of either human.

That was Google search by image to find a name in one of the places it was featured, then searching for elephants on the photographer's page.

ETA: RELATED. Of the campaign the picture was taken for.

QuoteNEW YORK High-end designer and marketer Asprey said Tuesday that actress Keira Knightley will star in its autumn/winter 2003 global advertising campaign.

The print campaign, created in-house, art directed by Baron & Baron and photographed by Bruce Weber, will also feature actor Joseph Fiennes and several well-known models and socialites. The work will break in November issues of British and American magazines to coincide with the unveiling of the entire product collection at Asprey stores in London and in New York. Campaign spending was not given.

London-based Asprey, best known for its silver and leather goods, exclusive porcelain, crystal, rare books and equally rare gems, is expanding its inventory to include watches and pens, silk, china and crystal, ready-to-wear, shoes and fashion accessories.

Ok, so we have the name of the place. :) One more detail needed (elephant's name or a human's).

Looking, but I doubt we'll find that with Google.
Elephant name would probably need contact with photographer.

Trying to find names of the people involved in the shoot, but "several well-known socialites" isn't very helpful.

Finding the name of the elephant or house the shoot was at is now an automatic win, because yeah, they're pretty hard.

When you find the answer to a puzzle, please share HOW you found it. That's the fun part!

These puzzles originated on searchlores.org. That site is about being a "seeker", somebody who can find any piece of information, no matter how obscure or occult. I really like that motivation - honing our google-fu, teaching each other how to navigate the infojungle, et cetera.

Right, usually everybody would be posting most of their google links, even if they were dead ends.

My bad. I have a brief explanation of the first part, but after that there were pages and pages and dead ends that I didn't share.
I found the property by searching for "mansions in Old Westbury" and it's one of the most famous ones, so there were a few pictures at the top of the search to match to the photo.
