 * Looks good to me. GreenReaper (talk) 21:03, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

More about directing videos
This biography does not yet contain enough information about Brandt's directing of videos to balance out the still photography detail. Quite a bit more of video should be added. Binksternet (talk) 06:24, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, I will see what I can find to add. I'm not sure where to take it from as there is plenty on the "Earth Song" by Michael Jackson.
 * Any direction you can give I will take. Thank you! Thisandthem (talk) 00:45, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Brandt directed the VMA-nominated video "Dear God" by XTC. Also: one version of "Porcelain" by Moby, and the video for "Hands" by Jewel. Right after Jewel, Billboard announced that Brandt was leaving Black Dog Films for Holiday Films. Binksternet (talk) 05:31, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

This page is in good order for wikipedia
Please use the talk page if you think something is not following wiki guidelines. Also cite the guidelines before removing or editing.Thisandthem (talk) 19:20, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Verifications and citations
The page is in good order but much of the references are inadequate or primary sources? The template messages added July 2018 support this assertion. The first reference, for instance, is too distant from the topic and doesn't reference the page's subject. Many others are from the subject's website or related organizations. I'm going to begin adding quality references with the aim to remove the template messages. Youarealwaysfree (talk) 04:34, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Request Edit: New Section
Hi, I have a proposal to add a new section to this article about photographer Nick Brandt. These additions concern his major new photo series, which has been covered in press around the world, including The Washington Post, The Sydney Morning Herald, El Pais (Spain), LA Weekly and leading photography publications. I work for Nick Brandt, which is why I am requesting a review of this substantive addition with these Request Edits. (In accordance with the instructions in the FAQ for Article Subjects to directly edit citations, WP:FAQ/Article subjects, I have also fixed about a dozen broken links and other citation issues, such as missing ISBN numbers and reliable citations [press coverage].) I noted my conflict of interest in the Edit Summary for these citation fixes.)

1. In the “Photography” section, after the “This Empty World” subsection, please add a new subsection entitled “The Day May Break”. The new subsection describes his most recent project, which was extensively covered in the media in the U.S. and around the world:

The Day May Break

In September 2021, Brandt released a project titled The Day May Break, a series of photographs portraying people and animals that have been impacted by environmental degradation and destruction. The photographs for this series were taken by Brandt in Kenya and Zimbabwe late in 2020. Each photo captures threatened animals living in wildlife sanctuaries alongside people in those countries who have suffered from the effects of climate change such as farmers displaced and impoverished by years-long severe droughts. The people and animals were photographed together in the same frame at the same time, and were taken at five sanctuaries and conservancies. In October 2021, LA Weekly art critic Shany Nys Dambrot said of the question the project poses “​is whether the day will break like sunrise, or like glass. For as gorgeous, rich and operatic as the images are, this is not an Edenic vision of coexistence, it’s an urgent plea for taking action.” Photos from the project were featured in public exhibits in September 2021 at the Atlas Gallery in London and the Fahey Klein Gallery in Los Angeles, and in January 2022 at the Polka Gallery in Paris.

2. In the “Bibliography” section, please add the following new entry to the bottom for the book that was released in October 2021 as part of the larger The Day May Break project:


 * The Day May Break (2021)

Thanks very much for your consideration of this request. And again, I would be happy to implement any or all of these proposals if I am authorized and directed to do so by an independent editor. Sansself (talk) 18:48, 18 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Done. Chirota (talk) 02:09, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
