Discover the life, most significant photographs, and must-see exhibitions of photographer Nick Brandt.

Nick Brandt was born in London, England, in 1964. For over twenty years, Nick Brandt's photographic series have focused on the effects of environmental destruction and climate collapse not only on the most vulnerable populations but also on animals and nature.

His photographic research began in East Africa with the trilogy entitled On This Earth, A Shadow Falls, Across The Ravaged Land (2001–2012), in which he revealed animals as sentient creatures, not so different from ourselves, capturing them in intimate and elegiac portraits in their natural habitat, similar in style to human portraiture in a studio setting.

Next came the panoramic, dystopian and cinematic series Inherit the Dust (2016) and This Empty World (2019), also set in East Africa.
