Africa

In the article, Awaiting Animals, I saw pictures of the wildlife of Africa. Also, I read about how each year more and more animals are being put in danger because of us. Nick  Brandt is a photographer who captured these wonderful images.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Nick Brandt's photography because I feel like it shows love that the lions have love for each other. Also, the rule of simplicity applies to this photo because the photo only captures the subject of the photo and not much background.

Nick Brandt uses a Pentax 67ll with only two fixed lenses because he believes capturing the animals up close captures there personality and inner spirit.
Brandt captures photos f the animals to simply show them that they are in the state of being before they no longer exist.
Brandt hopes that the animals will no longer be in danger anymore.

Brandt states "There is something profoundly iconic, mythological even, about the animals of East and southern Africa. There is also something deeply, emotionally stirring and affecting about the plains of Africa..." about Africa.
