Nick Brandt: Inherit the Dust

"Factory with Rhino" (2014) is reproduced from Nick Brandt's newest photobook, Inherit the Dust, in which the photographer inserts life-sized photographs of endangered animals into devastated East African landscapes. "It's only when you know what was there before that the loss is more keenly felt: the herds of elephants, giraffes and gazelles that not so long ago quietly moved across the plains and amongst the acacia trees, the heart-stopping sound of lions roaring on the still air at dusk and dawn. All deathly silent now." Featured today in the LA Times.
