Inherit The Dust, East Africa Urbanisation Photography By Nick Brandt

It was while directing “Earth Song”, a music video for Jackson in Tanzania in 1995 that Brandt fell in love with the animals and land of East Africa. Over the next few years, frustrated that he could not capture on film his feelings about and love for animals, he realized there was a way to achieve this through photography, in a way that he felt no-one had really done before.

In 2000, Brandt embarked upon his ambitious photographic project : a trilogy of books to memorialize the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa.
