Every month, the art buyers choose photographers to exhibit in the Ogilvy bar. This month we have the beautifully rich, dark work of George Logan, up-close shots of gorillas, chimpanzees and mandrills photographed at the Limbe Wildlife Centre is Cameroon - a centre for animals rescued from the brutal poaching and bushmeat trade.
The proximity of the animal to the viewer is captivating becoming almost tactile, and one sees how this type of animal portraiture is able to capture as much character and emotion as any human portraiture.
You are encouraged to visit the Born Free Foundation and the work they are doing to stop the illegal 'bushmeat' trade.
