Species: Silvery Langur (Trachypithecus Cristatus) | Location: Bako National Park In Borneo, Malaysia
In the heart of Bako National Park, I captured a tender moment between a Silvery Langur mother and her striking orange baby. Cradling her newborn protectively, the mother gazed directly into my camera, her silvery coat contrasting beautifully with the bright orange of her young. Silvery Langur infants are born with this vibrant hue, a stark difference from the sleek, silver coat they will eventually develop as they mature.
About The Photographer
Andy has always been interested in photography, but it wasn't until 2011 when he had the opportunity to borrow an underwater camera that he started to take his photography more seriously and took a number of underwater photography workshops. Since then, he has taken all forms of photography more seriously but most enjoys underwater photography, aerial photography with his drone and land-based wildlife photography. In pursuit of his images, Andy has traveled to the far reaches of our planet including Indonesia, Palau, Borneo, the Solomon Islands, Israel, Egypt, Australia, Tonga, Iceland, Greenland, the Philippines, the Galapagos Islands, Mexico and all over the Caribbean. Andy has won several photography competitions and his images have been published in magazines worldwide.
