Africa and Abandoned Theme Parks

1) This article is about Nick Brandt, his work and his motivation behind the camera in his pictures of wildlife and landscape in Africa. Before reading more about him and his work you can see eight pictures from his work in Africa.  On the first paragraph the writer is introducing him and his works like his trilogy books. In the following its an interview of Nick Brandt were he talks about what had inspired him, major treats from the animals, his technique, how much time he spent and the connection he felt between him and the animals.

3) This is my favorite picture on Brandt because it has something really powerful with the line you can see in the elephants. The elephants are getting bigger and sharper. 4) In my picture I can see the rule of thirds because the elephant in the right bottom corner  is sharped and focused also the balance because I can see the geometric shapes. The diagonal line of elephants is leading me a way in the picture so I can say I can also see lines. 5) He photographed on medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses because he believes that being close to animals makes a huge difference in his ability to reveal their personality. 6) He wants to record a last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed by people. 7) He believes that every creature in this world should be treated right and have the equal right to live. He says this world is under terrible threat and he wants to show us the animals in portriats like humans do.7)  Along the way, in completely unprotected areas, I saw giraffes, zebras, gazelles, impalas, wildebeest. A few months ago, just 13 years later, I made the same drive. I didn't see a single wild animal the entire four-hour drive. It's not that they've moved elsewhere. It's that they've been wiped out—turned into bushmeat.
