This is a particular favorite of mine because I love how the lion's mane is blowing in the wind. One could literally smell the electricity and the oncoming rain in the air. Brandt captured one of the rules of photography, which is the off center. The lion is slightly off center to the left.
The photographer does not use any lenses because he feels that one has to actually move in close to experience the animal's grandeur. Brandt feels that he needs to show everyone the quickly vanishing beauty of these amazing animals. His hope is to make people realize how much they're affecting the innocents that live in the wild and to take action to protect them.
"I was trying to record a last testament to this Eden, this paradise. As part of that, I was hoping to show the animals' majesty. But obviously, that's changed."
