Nick Brandt


This is my favorite photo because I like how the baby elephant is behind the bigger one. I think that the photographer took it at a really good angle and it came out really good. I think that this picture is an example of The Rule of Thirds because the picture is not directly in the middle and it wasn't taken from directly in front of them, it was taken from an angle.  He photographs with medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses, he uses a Pentax 6711 with only two fixed lenses. Brandt took pictures of animals in Africa because he loved animals and the land of East Africa. His hope is that animals are treated better. "this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera." He hopes for a change in the world and the way people view things.
