Nick Brandt

My reaction to these photos is just astonished on how he can get so close to the actually subject.  I feel this way because when he takes these photos he is literally yards away from getting killed.  And i also agree with him on how that if you are closer to the subject it gives the subject more tone.

I really like this photo cause it doesn't look real.  It looks like it could be something in a fantasy or in a magic closet.  But although it doesn't look real it looks amazing because it doesn't look real.  In my opinion i think that when pictures look like they came from a fantasy it just adds more effect to the photos.
I think that this photo uses the rule of thirds because Nick could've just taken a picture of the one giraffe but instead he opened his view and got a picture of all the giraffe in the area.

What kind of camera and lens does he use and why is this important?
-He uses a pentax 67ii to catch a more dynamic photo.

What is his reason for taking these photos?
-His reason for capturing the photos is because he wants to show people the beauty and hatred in the african desert.

What is his hope by taking these type of photos?
-To show people what is happening in the desert and what poachures are poaching.
