Thank you for displaying this tragic story. The best of life and nature captured in one dimension image -- deep sadness for the vanishing iconic wildlife.
I tell you what else is rare - the intelligence and thought this man puts into his work. He has really thought deeply about this, and really is trying to do something - a refreshing change in this era.
Thank you Nick Brandt for expressing your deep emotion of the magnificence of so many animals on this planet and concern for their future (which is becoming more dire by the day as you know) through the medium of your powerful photographs. Personally I have little hope for humankind to make the necessary adjustments to turn things around. So I do the little I can with caring for and loving like a "mad" woman the land we own with the utmost regard to Mother Earth, and her creatures using no pesticides or poisons, rather feeding and nourishing and be fine with the odd leaf being eaten by wurms, etc. I speak out where I can, also on our local social media, I sign petitions, etc. At times I despair, I cry, but mostly I try to love, nurture, be thankful for all the beauty there still is in creation and have empathy with the struggles and despair of man / women in this day and age where the reverence of the Sacred of Life seems to have been largely lost. And when people like yourself cross my path, I give great thanks for the fact that you are walking on this earth at this time. I salute your open heart, your courage, your grief, your hope, your contribution.
THANKS MR. BRANT FOR THIS KIND OF ART. AFRICA, AMAZONAS, NORTH AND SOUTH POLES, ALL THE SEAS, ETC : EL PLANETA AZUL ESTÁ SIENDO ARRASADO POR EL ANIMAL "MÁS INTELIGENTE" QUE LO HABITA... BEST REGARDS FROM SPAIN. NANO.
Very emotive, eye-opening and powerful photography. Made me feel the same way, as when I recently watched Platon's "The Invisible Conflict". Thanks a lot.
Thank you for your passion, your dedication, your message and your medium - all aspects have the commonality of genuineness. Thank you so much. Mega inspiring.
OMG, how moving were these pictures , i relate to pictures taken to animals being poached or died its the tradic creeping towards the end of the world we once knew, ive teken some pictures of Kenya and am now wondering how many animalsare left since then :(
Very cereblal and thought provoking. Im curious about the form and geometry of the panels juxtaposed to the settings. Its amazing how some mimic the landscape, which cant be mere coincedence. How he managed to find locations where that worked, must have been a challenge in the least.The message is strong and hope it get the recognition it deserves and the impact is taken to heart.
Stunning work Nick. I was wondering though in all of the large image installations, there looks as though the edges of the images are cracked or have holes in them. What were the large images printed on? Canvas? And how did the holes or cracks develop? I actually love the cracks.
Ian Thuillier - The dark rough look with the edges bleeding into the images remind me of the old Polaroid photographs. Artist Tom Baril also liked that look. The look of impermanence.
God is in control. Without Him, everything will look bleak. God never intended the world to go on forever, as the secular folks think it should. Hand these problems back to God and leave them there.
Capitalism at its finest. Better yet, at its worst. By that, I don't mean the portrayal of it here with this photographer, but by those who benefit in their corporate offices, making millions off the suffering of others.
I find this photography to be technically excellent but rather sterile and pedantic. The line of elephants and then the line of Tusks....come on. That's rather sophomoric.
These pictures changed my day, my week... they changed me.
This is so strong. Thank you, Mr. Brandt for your empathy and reflection.

Moving images .. stunning, but your words and thoughts are as important. A strong voice in a sad wilderness. Well done for your belief and stamina.

Stunning work. Those photos of Nairobi are very powerful.
So deeply touched. The loss of the wild is tragic.

Amazing work, inspiring commitment to conserving what (little) is left in the natural world. Kudos!!!!
Incredible. Shocking. Inspiring.
Unbelievable work
Majestic and tragic. For everyone to see and reflect upon. This is our chosen path.
I love his work, it really speaks to me. Its really so sad that all the animals he photographed were killed.Very moving and solemn.

Thank you for your touching photographs, all we can hope it gets through to the right people before it's to late,
Impactful art!

Terrific photos, and a strong message about how one species is doing more damage to the environment than all of the other species combined.
so inspiring!

This is absolutely unique
Moved beyond words!
Amazing
Thanks....
Wow...I am stunned

Who came first, him or David Yarrow?
If I'd seen these photos with no text I'd assume they were David's
Excellent super thanks buddy
Amazing sadness.
Very nice yet so sad
par excellence.
Paradise lost. Agriculture has stolen what cannot be restored.
Very sad truth....
I like Nicks work but prefer the punch and visceral nature of Yarrow.
Just Amazing Creative Photography The other side of Global Warming
A contrast in style between him and David Yarrow.
this guy's work seems to be a little superficial though...
Compare his work to Yarrow’s … some things cannot be bought… clearly this man is the one wearing the long pants.
David Yarrow walks in your shadow.
Not really.
What is next for the brilliant Nick Brandt ??
How the hell he get this quality and colors?
@lukas lengele no the quality is due to the file size, the monochrome impact due to the contrast at the editing stage.
He uses a Pentax 67 medium format film camera
Pretty heavy use of Photoshop. The lion portrait, lying and looking to the right, is obviously artificially blurred.
