“I’m not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes.” -Nick Brandt


 THIS IS MY FAVORITE PICTURE BECAUSE I LOVE ELEPHANTS, AND IT'S SO PERFECT. I THINK THE AUTHOR USED FRAMING FOR THIS PICTURE, AND MAYBE SIMPLICITY. SIMPLICITY- BECAUSE THE BACKGROUND IS JUST THE SKY, AND A PLAIN FIELD.
FRAMING- BECAUSE THE GROUND, AND SKY MAKE A FRAME. AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE PICTURE IS. ELEPHANT!

THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THIS PICTURE IS Nick Brandt. 



THIS IS THE CAMERA USED TO TAKE THIS PHOTO.

HE TOOK THESE PHOTOS  FOR THE AMBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC PROJECT.

BACKGROUND- 

Born in 1966 and raised in London, England, Brandt studied Painting, and then Film at St. Martins School of Art.

He moved to the United States in 1992 and directed many award-winning music videos for the likes of Michael Jackson (Earth Song, Stranger in Moscow, Cry), Moby, Jewel (singer), Embrace, XTC, Badly Drawn Boy).

It was while directing “Earth Song”, a music video for Jackson in Tanzania, in 1995 that Brandt fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa. Over the next few years, frustrated that he could not capture on film his feelings about and love for animals, he realized there was a way to achieve this through photography, in a way that he felt no-one had really done before.

BY TAKING THESE PHOTOS HE WISHES TO CARRY ON CAREER AS A PHOTOGRAPHER.
