This print of mother gorilla Tonda and her baby Ipikalya captures the very essence of parenthood. To look into their eyes is to recognize the deep connection we share with them. An intimate look at the threads that tie all families together. The trust Tonda placed in us to witness and document her world was extraordinary. Its a rare privilege to be accepted so intimately by a wild animal. Captured in Gabon for the BBC’s landmark series Parenthood, this image is a celebration of love, trust, and the universal power of family in nature.
