Africa

Some of these photos don't even look real! The photographer must have been waiting for hours to get these perfect photos. They are all beautiful. 

This is my Favorite Photo its called Elephant By Nick Brandt and the reason i like it is because of all the detail of the elephant and the background. This is the kind of photo that almost looks fake because it's so good. I think Balance is in this picture because the elephant is in the middle and theres nothing extra on either side of him except the sky until it meets the horizontal line of the earth. Simplicity i believe is also in this photo because even though its just an elephant in in the middle of nowhere the photo is beautiful itself because of the way it was taken. 

Nick Brandt 

Does not use telephoto lens because he believes that animals should be taken in a way to show their personality."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." words by Nick Brandt and how he sees photography as he's not just a photographer he's a poet and every one of his photos tells a story.
