Female Macaque, by Shamma Esoof

This female macaque was photographed at Kuala Selangor, Malaysia. Apart from humans, macaques are the most widespread primate in the world; therefore it is no surprise that they can be found all over Malaysia. The gaze of this particular macaque holds a fascinating and surprising depth. Non-human primates are intelligent, sentient beings with emotional responses similar to ours.

Simply and elegance is how Shamma Esoof would describe her aesthetic when she takes portraits of either people or animals. She believes photography can be used for worthy causes, which is why she volunteer as much I can with animal rescuers.
