Africa

I was sad to hear that Nick Brandt went through and saw all of the animals 13 years earlier and went through and there were so many animals. Then when he went back he saw zero. That is sad to me. Also, he would wait up to 18 days to get a picture of the animals which is amazing to me because it shows he is very dedicated with his work.


I like this picture because it shows how the elephant is the center with a plain background the the rest of the background is manly elephants.

The rules of photography that are evident in this picture are rule of thirds because even though the elephant is off centered the main focused elephant is to the right. This also shows simplicity because it is just a plain backdrop with the elephants so it gets across the main point. This also shows lines because the elephants are following in a line.

The kind of camera that Nick Brandt used was the Pentax 6711 with only two fixed lenses. The reason for him to take these photos was to show that animals have a personality and a soul so he gets close to capture that. Also, He is also trying to help so the animals can be preserved and not hunted.
