Congratulations @nickbrandtphotography We too are delighted that The Day May Break has been shortlisted for the African Photobook of the Year by the Eiger Foundation, and in such good company. ・・・#Repost ・・・ Some great other books / work also shortlisted, by among other photographers : Omar Victor Diop (@omar_viktor), Tariq Zaidi (@tariqzaidiphoto), Benedicte Kurzen & Sanne De Wilde (@benedicte_kurzen /@sanne_de_wild), Beth Moon (@bethmoonphotography), Elliott Verdier (@elliot.verdier). Book : The Day May Break : 168p, 80+ photos. Published by @hatjecantzverlag, editor: Nadine Barth (@barthouseprojects), designed by Julia Wagner (@grafikanstalt), distributed by @artbook in the Americas. Introduction by Yvonne Adhiambo Uwuor (flamboyant_tree). Photo: Teresa and Najin, photographed together at @olpejeta Conservancy in Kenya, 2020. Teresa & her husband Samuel used to live & farm in the Kenyan highlands. But in 2016, after months of constant rain, landslides destroyed their house & killed their livestock. They were forced to move to Nanyuki, where life has been a huge struggle, hustling to find menial jobs. . Najin is one of the last two northern white rhinos in the world, living at @olpejeta under 24/7 armed security. When Najin and her daughter Fatu dies, the species will be extinct. Once upon a time, the northern white rhino’s range extended through central Africa. But decades of poaching have taken its toll. And this is the tragically inevitable conclusion. . The Day May Break is the first part of a global series portraying people & animals impacted by climate change and environmental destruction.. Created by fog machines on location, the fog is the unifying visual, causing a once-recognizable natural world to fade from view. . However, these people & animals are the survivors. And there lies possibility & hope. #nickbrandt #nickbrandtphotography #thedaymaybreak #eigerfoundation @rogerballen #olpejeta https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf6qRmdMD-w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@frames_magazine reviewer @w.scottolsen begins his review of 'Nick Brandt: The Day May Break:' ⁠ ⁠ "I don’t think I’ve ever held a more troubling book. ⁠ I mean that in the best possible way.⁠ To trouble is a verb. We can trouble the calm surface of a pond, for example. And we can trouble the complacent soul."⁠ ⁠ Olsen ends the review: "'The Day May Break' is both fine art and moral argument. Unexpected, both timeless and immediate, this is a necessary book."⁠ ⁠ Read the full review via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ 'The Day May Break' is published by @hatjecantzverlag and edited by Nadine Barth.

Congrats @nickbrandtphotography !! #Repost・・・Thank you to the photo editors of @smithsonianmagazine for selecting The Day May Break as one of their Ten Best Photography Books of 2021. "The photo editors at Smithsonian magazine felt it was impossible not to include a visual story about climate change in this year’s list. And no other book this year does what Nick Brandt’s The Day May Break does so beautifully and poignantly—portraying people and animals impacted by environmental degradation and destruction." — Quentin Nardi, Chief Photo Editor (@qnardi) . SIGNED copies also at @photoeyebooks in U.S, @setantabooks and @atlasgallery in UK. @polkafactory in Paris, And through sourcephotographica.com.au in Australia, where an exhibition of the work opens in Sorrento, Melbourne this week. Book specs : 13x12 in. / 33x31 cm; 168 pages with 80+ photos. . This Photo : FATUMA, ALI AND BUPA, KENYA, 2020, photographed together in the same frame. . Fatuma & Ali lived as nomads with their livestock in NE Kenya. But from 2010, severe droughts killed all their goats & cows. Everyone fled the area, & a lot of people died. With little food available, Fatuma and Ali were forced to move to a town further south. They are still not able to go back home.. Bupa was 9 years old in 1989, when he was rescued from a mass elephant cull in Zimbabwe by the owner of @oljogi Conservancy. Bupa’s parents would have been killed in the culling. Once, there would have been no such thing as an “excess population” of elephants, because there would have been enough land for them to migrate. But with habitat loss & destruction, & human encroachment, there is less & less land for viable habitat, resulting in conflict with humans. Generally, the elephants lose. However, these people & animals are the survivors. And there lies possibility & hope. . #nickbrandt #nickbrandtphotography #thedaymaybreak #smithsonianmagazine #bestphotobooks2021 #bestphotographybooks2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CXhOqKYpJmS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Read an in-depth review of 'Nick Brandt: The Day May Break' — new from @hatjecantzverlag — now @laweekly !!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ @shananys writes: "'The Day May Break' is a hefty new book and exhibition launching a global series from @nickbrandtphotography — a photographer and eco-advocate whose dedicated practice of chronicling the effects of the climate crisis, especially in East Africa, also inspired him to co-found the @biglifeafrica Foundation with conservationist @richard.bonham10 His work is known for memorable and sometimes surreal locations, and a cinematic sensibility in emotionally charged portrayals of wildlife cast as the protagonists of his narratives.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ In previous series, especially those where human and animal figures share the scene, Brandt had occasion to employ elaborate processes that might unfold over hours, weeks, or even months. Often this would involve stationary cameras and several exposures at different times of day or even different times of year, so that humans and animals would seem to be sharing a particular place — a liminal place of industry or commerce — which they all visit, but usually not at the same time. In the theatrical and mysterious new works, all made in 2020, they do.…"⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read the full review via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Exhibition on view through October 30 @faheykleingallery ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Book edited by Nadine Barth.
