'''Nick Brandt''' (born 1964) is an English photographer and music video director. His photographs focus on the impact of environmental destruction and climate breakdown, for both some of the most vulnerable people across the planet and for the animal and natural world.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://talking-pictures.net.au/2022/11/19/nick-brandt-elegies-on-the-sixth-extinction/ | title=Nick Brandt: Elegies on the Sixth Extinction | date=18 November 2022 }}</ref>
==Background and early career== Born in 1964 and raised in London, England, Brandt studied painting, and then Film at Saint Martin's School of Art.<ref>[http://www.egodesign.ca/en/article.php?article_id=591&page=1, Living on Earth] Gallimard L., 21 December 2009.

==Photography== ===''On This Earth''=== In 2001, Brandt embarked upon his first photographic project: a trilogy of work to memorialize the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Triplett |first1=Brian |title=Elegiac call of the wild |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-aug-11-wk-gallery11-story.html |website=Los Angeles Times |date=11 August 2005 |access-date=9 August 2018}}</ref>
This work bore little relation to the typical, color, documentary-style wildlife photography.<ref name="nytimes lens" /> Brandt's images were mainly graphic portraits more akin to studio portraiture of human subjects from a much earlier era, as if these animals were already long dead. "The resulting photographs feel like artifacts from a bygone era".<ref name="nytimes lens" /> Using a Pentax 67II with two fixed lenses, Brandt photographed on medium-format black and white film without telephoto or zoom lenses. He writes: "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."<ref>{{cite news |last1=Hope |first1=Terry |title=Pro File: Nick Brandt |url=http://www.nickbrandt.com/UserImages/11/11129/file/Professional_Photographer_Jul_06(1).pdf |issue=July 2006 |publisher=Professional Photographer}}</ref>

In the afterword, Brandt explained the reasons for the methods he used at the time: "I'm not interested in creating work that is simply documentary or filled with action and drama, which has been the norm in the photography of animals in the wild. What I am interested in is showing the animals simply in the state of Being. In the state of Being before they are no longer are. Before, in the wild at least, they cease to exist. This world is under terrible threat, all of it caused by us. To me, every creature, human or nonhuman, has an equal right to live, and this feeling, this belief that every animal and I are equal, affects me every time I frame an animal in my camera. The photos are my elegy to these beautiful creatures, to this wrenchingly beautiful world that is steadily, tragically vanishing before our eyes."<ref>[http://www.nickbrandt.com/UserImages/11/11129/file/Brandt_Afterword_05.pdf Afterword, from On This Earth].

===''A Shadow Falls''=== Returning to Africa repeatedly from 2005 to 2008, Brandt continued the project. The second book in the trilogy, ''A Shadow Falls'', was released in 2009 and featured 58 photographs taken during the preceding years.<ref>{{cite book |title=A Shadow Falls |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hGRUPgAACAAJ |date = September 2009| publisher=Harry N.

Writing in the introduction, Goldberg states: "Many pictures convey a rare sense of intimacy, as if Brandt knew the animals, had invited them to sit for his camera, and had a prime portraitist’s intuition of character...as elegant as any arranged by Arnold Newman for his human high achievers."<ref>[http://www.nickbrandt.com/UserImages/11/11129/file/Vicki%20Goldberg%20Introduction.pdf Vicki Goldberg, Introduction, On This Earth]. Retrieved 11 January 2010</ref>
In additional introductions, philosopher Peter Singer, author of ''Animal Liberation'', explains why Brandt's photographs speak to an increasing human moral conscience about our treatment of animals: "The photographs tell us, in a way that is beyond words, that we do not own this planet, and are not the only beings living on it who matter".<ref>[http://www.nickbrandt.com/UserImages/11/11129/file/Pete%20Singer%20Foreword.pdf Peter Singer, Foreword, A Shadow Falls] Retrieved 11 January 2010</ref>
===''Across the Ravaged Land''=== thumb|upright=1|<em>Ranger with Tusks of Elephant Killed at the Hands of Man, Amboseli</em>, 2011In 2013, Brandt completed the trilogy ''On This Earth, A Shadow Falls, Across the Ravaged Land'' (the titles designed to form one consecutive sentence) with ''Across the Ravaged Land''.

''Across the Ravaged Land'' includes a series of photographs entitled ''The Petrified'' in which he collected animal carcasses petrified after drowning in the Lake Natron in Tanzania, as if their frozen carcasses were still perched in real life.

===''Inherit the Dust''=== In 2014, Brandt returned to East Africa to photograph the escalating changes to the continent's natural world.<ref name=SFNM16/> In a series of panoramic photographs, he recorded the impact of man in places where animals used to roam. In each location, he erected a life size panel of one of his animal portrait photographs, setting the panels within a world of urban development, factories, wasteland and quarries.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Bradner |first1=Liesl |title=Nick Brandt's 'Inherit the Dust' photos track Africa's tragic urban sprawl |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/museums/la-ca-cm-nick-brandt-inherit-dust-20160221-story.html |website=Los Angeles Times |date=18 February 2016 |access-date=6 August 2018}}</ref>

Writing in LensCulture, editor Jim Casper stated: "The resulting wall-size prints are impeccably beautiful and stunning, as well as profoundly disturbing. They convey the vast spaces and light of contemporary Africa with a cinematic immersion and incredible detail.

{{Blockquote |text=An ambitious undertaking, the project required six months to complete, and necessitated the building of large sets and night shoots amid relentless dust-storms. Initially, partial sets were constructed on Maasai land—one of the few places where animals and humans still coexist—and motion-activated cameras hidden from view. After many weeks, the animals became comfortable enough to enter these strange domains, triggering the camera as they did so. The requisite next-step involved completing the set—a petrol station for example or a highway—and enlisting a cast of local residents to populate each scene, before taking the second image, almost always from the same position as the first. The final photograph is created from a composite of both images; producing scenes in which large mammals appear lost within a human-dominated milieu.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Pateman |first1=Daniel |title=Nick Brandt: This Empty World |url=https://brooklynrail.org/2019/03/artseen/Nick-Brandt-This-Empty-World |work=The Brooklyn Rail |date=27 February 2019 |access-date=7 March 2019}}</ref> }}

Says Brandt, "People still think the major issue with the destruction of wildlife in Africa is poaching, but especially in East Africa it's no longer the biggest problem. The biggest problem is the population explosion that is happening. With that comes an invasion of humanity and development into what was not so long ago wildlife habitat."<ref>{{cite magazine |last1=Hardy |first1=Michael |title=Photos Show How Wildlife and Humans Collide on a Grand Scale |url=https://www.wired.com/story/wildlife-human-habitats-collide-photo-gallery/ |magazine=Wired |access-date=7 March 2019}}</ref>

In October 2021, ''LA Weekly'' art critic Shany Nys Dambrot said of the question the project poses “is whether the day will break like sunrise, or like glass. For as gorgeous, rich and operatic as the images are, this is not an Edenic vision of coexistence, it’s an urgent plea for taking action.”<ref name="LAWeekly" /> In the book ''The Day May Break'', curator, author and photo historian Phillip Prodger wrote, "A landmark body of work by one of photography’s great environmental champions. Showing how deeply our fates are intertwined, Brandt portrays people and animals together, causing us to reflect on the real-life consequences of climate change. Channeling his outrage into quiet determination, the result is a portrait of us all, at a critical moment in the Anthropocene."<ref name="auto"/> Photos from the project were featured in public exhibits worldwide.
=== ''The Day May Break: Chapter Two (2022)'' === The second chapter of Brandt's global series, The Day May Break, was photographed in Bolivia in February and March 2022.

Spread across the planet, there is a common link between the countries in which each chapter of ''The Day May Break'' is photographed : They are among the countries that are the least responsible for climate breakdown. Their global carbon emissions are tiny compared to industrial nations. Yet they are disproportionately harmed by its effects. In an article by CNN's Catherine Shoichet, Brandt describes the work as “pre-apocalyptic”.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Shoichet |first1=Catherine E. |date=4 November 2023 |title=These haunting underwater photos portray climate change in a new way |work=CNN |url=https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2023/11/world/underwater-portraits-climate-cec-cnnphotos/?cid=ios_app |access-date=27 November 2023}}</ref>

In the book's Foreword, author Zoe Lescaze writes, ''"''Faced with a seemingly impossible task, Nick Brandt has created a profoundly original body of work, one that represents an entirely new approach to climate-conscious photography…although they are several meters below the surface, the subjects of Brandt’s mesmerizing photographs do not float or swim. Incredibly, they sit on sofas, stand on chairs, use seesaws, and pose in ways they might on land. The effect is otherworldly, as though the familiar laws of physics have stalled in this strange, liminal zone between land and sea."<ref>{{Cite web |last=all-about-photo.com |date=2024-04-05 |title=Nick Brandt: Sink / Rise, The Day May Break: Chapter Three |url=https://www.all-about-photo.com/photo-articles/photo-article/1543/nick-brandt-sink-rise-the-day-may-break-chapter-three |access-date=2024-06-25 |website=www.all-about-photo.com |language=en}}</ref>

The stacks of boxes that the families sit and stand together on aim skyward - a verticality implying a strength or defiance - and provide pedestals for those that in our society are typically unseen and unheard.<ref name="auto1"/>
In September 2025, The Echo of Our Voices, the book, was published by Skira.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-09-22 |title=Elegant and Troubling - Review of "The Echo of Our Voices: The Day May Break Chapter Four" by Nick Brandt |url=https://readframes.com/elegant-and-troubling-review-of-the-echo-of-our-voices-the-day-may-break-chapter-four-by-nick-brandt/ |access-date=2025-10-06 |website=FRAMES |language=en-US}}</ref>
In a CNN feature in October 2024 about the work, CNN journalist Alaa Elassar writes: “Brandt strikes a flawless balance when bringing together harsh and soft elements, in this case the delicate reunion between the roughness of the desert - and the refugees stories - with the warmth of family. The refugees come alive through his photos; the physical connection to emanate affection, and in the eyes of the children are crystal-clear dreams. Some of the women look straight into the camera with expressions that scream resilience...In a world that so frequently dehumanizes Arabs, especially Arab woman who fall victim to stereotypical depictions of oppressed voiceless beings, Brandt has made an effort to give these women a platform to reclaim their power.”<ref name="auto1"/>
''The Echo of Our Voices'' was partially funded by Gallerie d’Italia Museum in Turin (that is in turn funded by Banco Intesa Sanpaolo).<ref name="auto1"/>
