When Jayaprakash Joghee Bojan won the National Geographic Nature Photographer Of The Year in 2017, his career was put on the fast track overnight. His image of an enormous male orangutan playing hide-and-seek in a river in Borneo was seen by 3.5 million people and put the plight of the orangutan back in the spotlight. Since then, Bojan has focussed his lens almost exclusively on the Red Apes travelling to Borneo every month to work with Orangutan Alliance International and photograph this remarkable species. We caught up with Jayaprakesh in Singapore to find out more about his photography and his orangutan conservation work.
