“The farmer Lucio is more thoughtful and hesitant, looking down. In December 2021, there were extreme floods far greater than people in his area had ever experienced which swept away all his crops and left him unable to make a living. In 2014, there were floods and mudslides caused by deforestation, and Ruth’s house was one of 60,000 homes destroyed and 150,00 cattle lost.“Apthapi is a lowland tapir, around eight years old when photographed,” says Brandt. “He was rescued when just five to six months old by the police from a hotel where they kept animals for entertainment.
“In chapter one in Africa, all the photographs were taken outside the animal enclosures, whereas in chapter two, what was very challenging was that all the photographs had to be taken inside the enclosures, and so the fog had also to hide the chain-link fence, etc. “I’ve got zero interest in messing around with the photographs,” says the photographer. “What happens in real life is far superior to what I might come up with either in my imagination or Photoshop. To me, there’s just indefinable organic integrity to an image when it’s just what you see is what was there.“In terms of future chapters, it’s also money,” explains the photographer. “I mean, these projects are costly, which is hard as it is all self-funded. It’s kind of scary how much it costs.
