As a wildlife and conservation photographer, I create images to not simply see an animal but to have an insight into its life, a deeper understanding of its behavior and how it relates to its world.
By creating and sharing my images of threatened and endangered species, I am dedicated to bringing a greater understanding and appreciation of the natural world to engage people in conservation awareness and actions, especially in the primate extinction crisis.
