Africa Project

The photo is my favorite because it shows a lot of simplicity and a lot of detail. It also shows meaning because of the color tone and the lighting.
A rule found in the photo is the rule of thirds because the main subject falls along the lines for rule of thirds.













He uses Pentax47II with two fixed lenses.
The reason he takes photos like these is because it helps him express his love for animals.
He hopes that one day animals will no longer struggle to survive from human threats and that they won't go extinct.
 “African wildlife has never looked so regal and mysterious as in Brandt’s grave photographs. His elephants appear as weighty as the pyramids. His rhinos look more ancient than carbon. His apes know something we don’t. Given the multitude of human disasters in Africa, is it an indulgence to lose yourself in pictures that carry no hint of the wars and famines outside the frame? Not when the pictures are such powerful reminders that Africa is also a magnificent—and endangered—treasure house of animal life.”
