Land Of The Lemurs (Black & White)

2024

‘Land Of Lemurs’ is one of my favourite photographs that I’ve taken in 2024 thus far. It is a composition I have long dreamed of, I sketched out a similar composition three years ago and have been trying to capture it ever since.

When I found these three hanging out, I knew I probably had my chance if I waited long enough. The left and the right lemurs were the easy part, and the beautiful trees in the distance made for the perfect backdrop, I just had to wait a while for the central individual to move forward so as to create the distance I wanted between him and the two others.

Lemurs are very sociable and inquisitive, so he was very obliging when it came to looking into the camera — he means business, this is the land of lemurs.
