There are times when it's not hard to see how closely we are related to the great apes... Taken at the Toronto Zoo in 2014 as part of my 'Animal Portrait' series.

Chimpanzees can remember old friends for decades. When presented with stronger evidence, chimps also rationally revise their previously held beliefs. Bonobos can play make believe.

My latest feature for @theguardian.com explores the amazing minds of great apes.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe this is a lowland gorilla.

Humans are #primates. They're #GreatApes. Humans are part of the #AnimalKingdom as we can freely move. Humans belong to the animal phylum known as chordates who have a backbones. Humans are #mammals. Other animal species are fellow #animals; our animal cousins. #GoVegan #veganism #VeganForTheAnimals

I love playinjg with the light in post processing. I had great back lighting on this Western Lowland Gorilla at the Toronto Zoo, and it lent itself to a Film-Noire treatment.
