Nick Brandt once again enchants us with his fantastic portrayal of people affected by the changing world and environmental damage in this third chapter of a global series.
His work beautifully captures the impact of these changes on our planet.

Thank you for posting this.

Amazing work and the video shows just how much equipment, assistants and work went into this series. I am particularly impressed by the models. They are posing well under trying circumstances with the weight belts they had to wear to be able to do the shots. Opening ones eyes in salt water and still appearing to be not affected is not easy.

Indeed, immersing oneself in saltwater, even in Fiji and opening your eyes naturally, can pose some difficulty without practice.

Some divers may opt for eye protection underwater, but when diving with a mask and breathing apparatus, accompanied by a diver, it becomes easier to ensure correct placement and secure where needed.

Everything is set for the photographer to capture the perfect shot suddenly. Nick may even take a sequence of photos and select the best one later or tethered.

Nick Brandt's technique, seemingly devoid of excessive editing, likely involves taking numerous shots to pick the finest. (I think)

I can only imagine the cost of such a project.
I plan to buy the book in Europe to avoid import taxes, following Nick's suggestion it will be coming from Polka-Librairie.
