Nick Brandt is a photographer who photographs exclusively in Africa, one of his goals being to record a visually poetic last testament to the wild animals and places there before they are gone at the hands of man.
Born in 1966 & raised in London, England, Brandt studied Painting, & then Film at St. Martins School of Art.
They moved to The united states in 1992 & directed plenty of award-winning music videos for the likes of Michael Jackson (Earth Song, Stranger in Moscow, Cry), Moby, Jewel (singer), Embrace, XTC, Badly Drawn Boy).
It was while directing �Earth Song�, a music video for Jackson in Tanzania in 1995 that Brandt fell in love with the animals & land of East Africa. Over the next few years, frustrated that they could not capture on film his feelings about & love for animals, they realized there was a way to accomplish this through photography, in a way that they felt no-one had completed before.
