Having been a fan of Nick Brandt for a number of years, an opportunity to view his new exhibition and meet the man himself was one I wasn’t going to miss.
Waddington Custot Gallery, Cork Street, London are showing 17 pieces from his new exhibition “This Empty World” from February 7th until March 7th 2019.
Once again Nick focuses his lens on East Africa, and brings to us the plight of some of our great animals, how they fight a loosing battle to compete with mans environmental destruction and how our governments remain apathetic.
This Empty World shows a move from black & white to colour the use of clever lighting, emphasizing the juxtaposition between the natural surroundings our animals live in, and our ever increasing concrete jungles.

Nick Brandts photography and his work with the comendable Big Life Foundation continues to hammer home the message about the destruction we are doing to our planet, a wonderful, thought provoking exhibition, well worth a visit.
