The portrait of a cow baboon – a species of baboon found only in the highlands of Ethiopia – is striking: the primate looks directly into the camera lens, establishing a link with the photographer and, ultimately, with us viewers.
“Suddenly and for a single moment, he turned to me, looked at me intensely, and I understood the full force of his dominance over his herd,” says Quillard, recalling the moment their eyes met. “For me, it was an unforgettable moment, exactly what I was trying to capture through a photograph”
