Troop Leader, an Official Portrait

Nominee

"Troop Leader, an Official Portrait"
A dominant baboon had taken an unscheduled break during a busy mating season to patiently pose for the stunned photographer. The resulting image shows a leader with wisdom and determination.

Biography: I am an amateur photographer from Lower Hutt, New Zealand and have been involved in taking photos from my teenage years. I am mostly interested in landscape photography, with the main focus being a creation of a symbolic response to the world around me. For me photography is an art so closely tied to our perception of life. Each of my images carry a fragment of feeling I had in that particular moment of time, and hopefully, all of them together will one day recreate what was an emotional landscape of my life.
