sketch of a photo from Nick Brandt's exhibition in Stockholm: "On This Earth, A Shadow Falls"
original photo:
"Elephant with Exploding Dust"
I really love Nick's works. We were quite hesitated, because of the high administration fee, but it turned out so worthy and I'm really glad that we've been there. At first glance of this photo, i thought it must be the retouch making the photos look nice, but those photos look exactly as how they're taken. I especially like one thing Nick said that he is not taking photos of these animals, but getting the portrait for them. and therefore he needs to stay closer to them, otherwise he cannot capture their souls." I guess this is why he can take so many breath-holding photos.

That is really good! How did you do it?
I really loved the exhibition too...
oh well...我本來就挺愛畫畫的, 只是還不太能隨心所欲的想畫啥畫啥, 所以目前楚於對照片或景物照著畫的練習階段囉 =)
if his book is not that expensive, i might have bought it... although i really love his works, that's way beyond what i could afford >"<
