"Lonely Boy"

When growing up in a man's world it can be lonely. When you are a monkey it means extinction.

Biography: I'm an Australian photographer, specialising in wildlife and wild animal portraits. I am the founder of ICU TOO, a continuing photographic project that I have been creating for an ongoing exhibition since 2014. The pandemic meant the project is on hold, not ended. To cope with me not being able to travel to see primate in the wild I am studying primatology instead. My photography has now been channelled in the direction of my own backyard, which is full of native Australian wildlife.
