Nick Brandt

Nick Brandt (born 1964) is an English photographer who photographs exclusively in the African continent, one of his goals being to record a last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are destroyed by the hands of man.

I wish that I had never had to take this photo.

The photo was taken as a deliberate visual echo of Elephants Walking Through Grass, a very different world - a vision of paradise and plenty - taken only a couple of miles away three years earlier.

But instead of a herd of elephants striding across the grassy plains of Africa, here we see only their remains: the tusks of 22 elephants killed at the hands of man within the Amboseli/Tsavo Ecosystem.

Shot types and camera angles

High angle: High-angle shots can make the subject seem vulnerable or powerless when applied with the correct mood, setting, and effects. In film, they can make the scene more dramatic. If there is a person at high elevation who is talking to someone below them.

Low angle:  The effect of the low-angle shot is that it makes the subject look strong and powerful.

Wide angle: Usually includes a lot of visual  information for the audience. Usually shot with a wide angle lens.

Two shot: is a type of shot in which the frame encompasses a view of two people

Medium shot:  is a camera angle shot from a medium distance

Sebastian Salgado

I have chosen this photograph of Sebastian Salgado because it seems a very spontaneous and very natural photo

It is a very nice photo where there are different kind of animals and many animals do not give that they make the picture, they are calm as if Salgado was one more
