Chimpanzee No. 1
Medium: Digital C-Print on Archival Photographic Paper

Compared to his brother, Amari was a bit more calm and relaxed on set. I thought it would be interesting to further anthropomorphize him by placing Amari in very human position. He was agreeable and was happy to pose for us. This shot in particular was inspired by the famous Auguste Rodin’s The Thinker. Throughout the shoot, Amari would run around, dance, and then jump into my arms for a hug. A funky monkey no doubt.
