Africa Photos

I think it is very interesting and brave that Nick Brandt does this. I bet it is an amazing experience working around these animals while blending his passion for photography along with it.

This photo shows two lions (female on left, male on right) with each other. I think the photo is beautiful because of the colors and animals in it.

The lions seem to fill the frame well, there also seems to be balance in the photo.

He uses a Pentax 67ii with two fixed lenses, thus creating a dramatic landscape.

He sees how these species are become more and more endangered everyday. Brandt wants to show us what we are going to be missing.

"There is something profoundly iconic, mythological even, about the animals of East and southern Africa." -Nick Brandt
