Nick Brandt - Photographer

I stumbled across Nick Brandt, an amazing wildlife photographer. I am drawn to his photos because of the way he takes the animal's picture as if it is a glamorous portrait of a person. I think that his work is beautiful and calming almost as if you get a sense of the animal's soul and can feel a connection to them. It is also interesting to compare these photos with those of the "Sad Safari" series below, and it becomes obvious how depressed and sad the animals in the zoo look compared to these confident and distinguished animals found in the wild, where they belong. I really really love these photos!
