what i saw was Nick Brandt's photos were trying to take pictures of the wildlife in their natural habitat before it is destroyed by man. many of his photos are in black in white because there would be so much to distract from the subject of the photo which is the animals in their natural habitat. he is a conservationist trying to bring awareness to the public about saving the animals habitat.
the reason why this is my favorite is because it shows a lot of emotion in the photo. there is no color to take away from the lions so that's all you focus on. it's very simple and conveys a lot sense of sadness and love.
the rules that are used is simplicity and balance. it uses simplicity because there is no other distracting features that take away from the subjects. it uses balance because there is two lions and takes up all the space and not much empty space. Also it uses framing by the subjects filling the space.
he does not use a telescopic lens he uses a smaller lens and forces him to get closer to the animals. the reason why it's important is because it creates a personal fell to the images.
the reason why he photographs is his photos because he is trying to take pictures of the wildlife in their natural habitat before it is destroyed by man.
his hope is to try to spread awareness of people destroying the natural habitats of these animals and to try to stop it.
“I photograph these animals - that specific elephant or cheetah or lion that has drawn my eye - in the same way I would a human being, watching for the right pose that pose fully will best capture his or her spirit. This means getting close. (Although frustratingly, I can't ask the animals to take a small step to the left, or lift their head a little.) This means getting close. It's one reason why I don't use telephoto lenses. I like to frame the animals within the context of their world - the sky and the landscape - rather than within a telephoto blur or scrubby ground or brushes. Other times, I'm searching for a panoramic view that I hope will convey some semblance of the rare synchronized spectacle of animals, landscape and light that can unfold, if one is very fortunate and patient.”Nick Brandt
Opening eyes
his newest purpose is to show where the animals used to be and put them in where the land was taken by infrastructure. it shows how much the world has changed where the animals lived.
he did it for the need to comment on the natural world's extraordinary speed of destruction.
i think the effect of his work will bring attention on what the expansion of countries have on the habitat where the animals used to roam.
it made me feel sorrow and guilt of people for building cities where animals used to live and completely change and destroy the environment.
