Nick Brandt (Africa)

1. I completely agree with what Nick Brandt believes in. It is crazy how the African wildlife is decreasing so rapidly because of what humans are doing to their homes. I personally am an animal lover and after reading this article, I want to help protect wildlife everywhere. I also love how real his photos are and how he doesn't cheat to capture them.

3. The Zebra is standing against the sky and is beautifully outlined making it more prominent. This is my favorite photo because the Zebra is standing perfectly and the image is taken at just the right angle.


4. This photo specifically shows simplicity. The sky is clear and the Zebra is perfectly centered and prominent against the sky.


5. Brandt uses a Pentax 67 with a medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses because he wants to get close to the animals to better capture their personalities and make his photography more realistic.


6. His reason to capture African wildlife is to record a last stand for the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed by human influence.


7. He photographs these types of photos because he wants to be able to capture the animals in a state on Being without having a dramatic picture.


8. He states that the Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the last places on earth to capture so many species and that the place moves him on a fundamental, visceral level.
