Upside Down
Vervet monkeys like to hang around the campsites in Moremi where they harass campers and steal food items. Despite that I actually love them, more especially the youngsters. I was determined to get some close-up shots of one of those cuties and after a few straight forward portrait images I tried some alternative framing. Here I was on my knees to get at eye level with my subject, a baby hanging upside down on its mother’s belly. I framed it such that the head of the adult is excluded; thereby creating an image that may have to make the viewer look twice before understanding what is going on.
