ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Among the non-human primates of Kenya, blue monkeys are one of the hidden jewels, found in the last remaining rainforests of Western Kenya. I spent several days with these canopy-dwelling guenons hoping to capture intimate portraits that showcase their beauty, bringing awareness to an under-appreciated part of Kenya's wildlife.

AUTHOR
I am an animal behavior scientist by training and a data scientist by profession, with a passion for nature and wildlife photography that I have nurtured since I was eight years old. My wildlife research and travels have taken me around the world for more than three decades. This life has offered me opportunities for photographing in some of the most fascinating environments, from the rainforests of Central America and East Africa to the Australian Outback and the sub-antarctic Falkland Islands and countless places in between. In 2023, I decided to pursue a plan to turn my passion for wildlife photography into a full-time career, with the ultimate goal of bringing people closer to nature through my art as well as hands-on photography workshops in some of my favorite locations around the world. My photography aims to portray the personalities, behavior, and emotional states of animals so that they become more than mere entries on a catalog of biodiversity, much of which we are set to loose without action.
