Nick Brandt was born and raised in London a british contemporary photographer who studied film and painting at St Martins School of Art but he now lives in Topanga, California.
Brandt started photographing in December 2000 in East Africa, beginning the body of work that is his signature matter and style. His first book is titled ‘On this Earth’ which were published in October 2005, he has had numerous of exhibition between 2004 and 2006 including London, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Hamburg, Santa Fe, Sydney, Melbourne and San Francisco; and his second new book was exhibited in September 2009 at Atlas Gallery.
His passion is taking black and white photographs of wild animals surrounded in their natural habitat in Eastern Africa and capturing their dramatic single moment in action, using a telephoto lens and printed in an Archival Pigment Ink. He studied step by step with the view of the camera by taken pictures and froze each moment it could that the conclusion is to attract viewer’s eyes and make them believe that the animals does have feelings. Its is very interesting and incredible how powerful these photographs are both landscape, also printed in black and white, no color but have tone and has the same content which is relationship, unit and love.
Brandt photographs inspired me for the fact that the photographs is the lovely emotion that the animals transmits into the image, a feeling candidness that demonstrates the good side of nature being which creates a story within the image.
