I find this photo to be unreal looking in a way, but still so beautiful. The sky is just so grand. It looks like a painting that makes people wish they could ever see such a sight.
This photo is using the photography rule of thirds, by having the giraffe to the side taking up a bit over a quarter of the picture. Though the giraffe would be seen as the main focus to many the background i what takes up the majority and catches your eyes.
He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses, after directing the famous Micheal Jackson music video for Earth song. He fell deeply in love with the beauty of Africa and the animals who lived then. He was frustrated by the fact he felt he could not capture it all in film, but later found way to show his image through photography.
"It’s getting harder and harder to capture these animals because every year there’s less of them, So I’m actually taking longer and longer to take these photographs but my mission is still to try and show them as sentient creatures.”
