Photographed in ZOO Planckendael, where the breeding programme for Bonobo apes is highly established, this portrait captures a Bonobo - "Pan paniscus" in a moment of quiet concentration as it gently holds its own foot with its hand. The gesture feels almost symbolic, as if the chimp is making a small agreement with the world around it. The black and white tones draw attention to the texture of its fur and the depth in its expression, revealing a presence that is thoughtful, grounded and deeply alive.

Half of the profits from Deal are donated to wildlife conservation projects that protect great apes and the forests they depend on.
