I really like many of the photos of Nick Brandt, but this was my favorite. Its only one object, an elephant that is standing right in the middle of the photo, it looks as if the elephant was looking straight in the camera, and I really liked the values it shows. What captured my attention was the beauty and simplicity, its very balance.
- What Nicked use to take this pictures was a Pentax 6711 camera with only two fixed lenses.
- Brandt's reason for taking photos is the love that he hastowards animals and the love for the land of East Africa. He was frustrated because he couldn't show his feeling about animals in film, so he went into photography in oder to achieve what he wanted.
- The hope he has of taking this pictures is being to record a last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed by the hands of man.
- "I'm not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild" - quote by Nick Brandt.
