Purpose to Photography

My reaction to the PowerPoint was that the pictures look amazing, and I wonder how they took these pictures.

This is my favorite picture because it shows that animals also care about family and can think like humans in that manner.

The elements of photography that I can see here are simplicity and contrast/emphasis. The subject is clear and the background doesn't distract from the main focus either.

1.) He photographs on medium format black and white film without zoom.
2.) His purpose was to create a trilogy to memorialize the vanishing natural grandeur of Africa.
3.) He hope to show their spirit and liveliness by getting close to the animals.
