Photographed at five sanctuaries, the animals were rescues that can never be rewilded. As a result, it was safe for human strangers to be close to them, photographed so close to them, within the same frame. The fog on location is the unifying visual motif, conveying the sense of an ever-increasing limbo, a once-recognizable world now fading from view. However, despite their respective losses, these people and animals have survived, and therein lies possibility and hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNick Brandt\u003c\/b\u003e (born 1964) studied film and painting at St Martin's College in London. He turned to photography in 2001 with his trilogy \u003ci\u003eOn This Earth, A Shadow Falls\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAcross the Ravaged Land\u003c\/i\u003e.
