Africa
1. I love the meaning of these photos, they are beautiful and powerful and represent an important cause. These photos are so beautiful and are really words of fine art, it seems like a set because of how perfect the poses of the animals are and how symmetrical and visually pleasing they are. I wonder how long it took to get a good shot.

3. This is my favorite picture because of it's balance, it's very pleasing to look at. Also I love that it's in black and white.
4. A rule that is present in this photo is rule of thirds because of the positioning of the giraffes in the bottom right corner of the photo and the position of the landscape.
5. Nick Brandt uses the Pentax 6X7 (camera) because he like the look of film over digital, it adds to the feeling of the photo. And uses fast prime lenses (75mm, 105mm, 150mm and occasionally a 200mm), these allow him to get a narrow depth field, which he prefers.
6. Nick Brandt takes these photos as a "testament to the wild animals and places [in Africa] before they are destroyed by the hands of men.", meaning that he wants to photograph Africa to preserve the wild and empower people to help.
7. Nick Brandt hopes that his photos will inspire people to help preserve the beauty of the African wild.
8."In the third book, I could no longer ignore what was happening in Africa: the dramatic escalation of destruction of that world, due to a significant degree to the demand for animal parts from the Far East. I always knew that this amazing world was disappearing, but never expected it to escalate at this rate."
9. Brandt's new focus is to show the world how fast the natural world is being destroyed.
10. First, Brandt printed out the original photo as large as the real animal.
Then, he had to paste it on large billboards.
Then, he and his team had to find the perfect location in Kenya to place the photo.
Next, 23 men must lift the photo to the desired location and adjust it perfectly.
Finally, Brandt takes the photo.
11. His work must inspire many to help make change in our dying world. The power of his photos is astounding.
12. These images give me many mixed emotions, they make me feel sad, angry, and in awe. The photos are magnificent, you can't argue the genius of them. The message on the other hand is a topic that only makes upset, it's distressing to realize that these proud animals' habitat is being destroyed in the hands of greedy men.
