Nick Brandt's portrait, Elephant Drinking, is a powerful photograph that captures the grace and grandeur of an African elephant. These majestic creatures face loss of habitat and continued poaching. Taken as part of his ongoing work with wildlife, Brandt's image focuses our attention on the very natural act of drinking. The work speaks to the fragility of nature and the need for conservation efforts.
