Africa Black and White Powerpoint


   I was in love of the way Nick Brandt captured the animals in Africa. They stayed in tune with the rules of photography and they took me in awe. They were breathtaking, especially the African cat pictures.


This is my favorite photo because I am a huge fan of cats, even big African cats. The way the lion is looking of into the distance is so beautiful. Th rule of simplicity is shown in this picture because the lion is the only subject in the picture. It also has a plain background.

Nick Brandt
a. He used a Pentax 6711 with only two fixed lenses.
b. Nick took the photos of the animals in their natural state and surrounding.
c. His hope is that the animals will get noticed and people were start paying more attention to them. He wants the animals to be around longer so they won't go extinct.
d. Brandt said, "You wouldn't take a portrait of a human being from a hundred feet away and expect to capture their spirit; you'd move in close."
