Monkeying Around

Photographer Maciek Pożoga photographs Japanese Macaques in both natural and man-made settings, highlighting the connection that humans have with the mammals. By shooting them in a direct manner that engages with the subjects and their surroundings, the photographs highlight the crossover between natural and man-made environments, demonstrating that they are in fact part of the same thing. This is achieved, as the viewer can relate to the mannerisms and body language of the species. This instantly breaks down the barrier between the natural world and human influence.

As Dorothea Born writes in ‘Nature gone wild’:

“We need to start seeing Nature in humans and the human in Nature”
