Picture Perfect: Patrick Brown

In this episode of Picture Perfect, we visit Patrick Brown in Bangkok, Thailand to discuss photography and his forthcoming book Trading to Extinction, which documents the illegal trade of endangered animals in Asia. We then travel with Brown to Guangzhou, China, where he photographs restaurants that buy and serve exotic animals.

His work is so intentional and meaningful. I love his conviction for the story he is trying to tell. "I never ask for permission."

[@markhopkinsphoto7257]

These "Picture Perfect" stories are some of the of the best photographer-related video stories out there.

[@tim_kiprop]

And now see, the coronavirus is here. Great eye opener. We as photographers empower and enlight.

[@Tesants]

Great doc! Stop animal trades!

[@thegrainiac2743]

They need to do more of these videos on film photographers!

[@msdkadam]

But who will fund the Photographers?? It is a painful but satisfying job...

[@gurkenwasser1328]

Such a great series. Thanks for pushing photographers! Finally someone, who cherishes this form of art. Photography is a big thing (not only for myself).

[@kiwipics]

One of the best film I've seen on youtube ...

[@gerihenry2261]

Thank you for the exposure... many of us would never have the opportunity you had and I'm thankful that you felt it important enough for us to see it through your lens.

[@mynewcolour]

Great series. This is fantastic. Well done all involved.

[@arvindabasol4747]

[@thethemichaelcheung]

it is so good. this is an artist, because what he is delving into is more than just a surface.

[@knownaigm]

"white people spicy".... take his advice.

[@aaronkeogh]

perfect!

[@goriskia]

Really deep story...

[@michaeldruce9930]

His prints are so fucking dynamic. Really really really good printing.

[@thiszooisofflimits]

brilliant

[@user-yk5xl2rl8j]

He is a good man and he did well but he cannot stop them because there are more to meet the eye.

[@ikasaharman]

Wow, rolleiflex, nikon and polaroid 😍

[@scottbradshaw8898]

fucking inspiring. what a legend

[@eastgreenlander5016]

I wonder how many animal species have been extinct since the making of this video in 2012 until today of writing this 2020 due to these kinds of markets in China. Hope he is carrying on with his project.

[@andrewsmithphoto]

I saw him speak in 2019 when he was releasing his new book "No Place on Earth." He is a truly devoted person who goes to great lengths to tell the true story of what is happening.

[@fra91_]

Does anyone know what camera is he using through the video?

[@ALUtoo]

this is a story that must be told & shared. I had no idea of the volume. Mr Brown is right, keep the working class uniformed and they will believe anything.

[@kasonhaug2900]

what film did he mostly use?

[@lenkiewitcz]

Horrendous. But great work highlighting the desperately disgusting treatment of animals and very emotive given the global current virus situation.

[@paolalopezalvarez8906]

Does anyone know what nikon camera he is using to take pictures of the fish ?

[@kuulolo398]

Nikon fe2 titanium

[@rulersofjoy]

i cannot speak very powerful

[@eddyilmejo]

Which camera and which lenses is he using?Cheers

[@lenkiewitcz]

Film...That's all you really need to know. The Rolliflex twin is a gorgeous camera.

[@TheLocus77]

What nikon does he use in these video?

[@SesameGhetto]

Victor Menéndez nikon fm

[@theocharles4761]

Do someone know what analog camera he's using to take photos?

[@yugao5260]

looks like Nikon FM or FE series

[@maximillian9926]

How did this trade start? Are those people with no further perspectives? Are those people the problem or is there a bigger problem?

[@phillip9194]

what Nikon camera is that?

[@robinmiller72]

Nikon FM2/T

[@vladnickul]

.... Doing aid work on almost half of the lobe. I learn one thing that I can yes and is P.C.: The people are country.

[@iliketomakeout]

Great content but the intro is so anoying

[@brendanwho]

i agree. that shit sucks.

[@refard5]

This shit is what makes people go vegan, this is why we need photographers taking pictures of the animal industry

[@wernervonhurtsaug]

Guy delightfully says "I've been with drug addicts". Okay mate.

[@ricardoweis285]

I saw many videos of photographers but never see how much money they make !!! There is info of other artist like singers or Hollywod actors and we can know how much money they make with a movie but I never saw information about how much money a photographer make !!!!

[@HFIHYHAGD]

“I have empathy for the poachers” yeah ok buddy

[@josephalmazan4805]

Kinda sad you don't think they don't deserve empathy

[@lenkiewitcz]

I think he means they know no better, low education and possibly desperation to survive...This is where governments should step in and help.

[@ernestoregaldo]

He's only 43 looks like 63. Looks like he's seen a lot of shit.

[@karensomes2673]

How does a privileged foreigner get to become the critical voice of another culture? Would it not make sense if you were to do an expose on factory farmed meat in your own country as an example? This kind of self righteous journalism seems absolutely dated.

[@AtlasMvm]

Karen Somes because perhaps people do not base the entirety of their identity based on their country. if this is the art he wants to make, the world he wants to explore, he has as much a right as anyone else.

[@lenkiewitcz]

How was he self righteous or privileged? The meat industries in the West are hugely exposed and thankfully struggling due to the rise of veganism. Doesn't matter where it is, animal exploitation is wrong no matter what the culture is...thats just a bullshit excuse like tradition and religion.

[@eddyjcreative100]

The work thats being done through his lense is evidence the country is and thinks its above the law..Please report this ...Great work.
