     I think that Nick Brandt’s work is some of the best that I have ever seen. The way he shoots the landscapes and animals is like that of no other photographer’s I have ever seen, the black and white landscapes and wildlife make his pictures unique. His pictures always look natural and never forced. The black and white in a way makes the photographs look sad which goes with his goal of capturing the African setting and it inhabitants before they are destroyed by the hand of man.

My Photographer: Nick Brandt

I chose Nick Brandt because his photographs show that he has strong passion for wildlife. Nick's pictures are different from those of any other photographs because most people would'nt choose to shoot wildlife or landscapes in black and white and this makes his photographs stand out.
