📍 Labuk Bay Proboscis Sanctuary, Borneo

Proboscis monkeys move through the world in family groups, and the young ones move with them the way young things do, which is to say very close to their mothers, and with at least one hand on something solid.

This one has found the best possible handhold. It sits just behind the curve of its mother's back, one small fist wrapped around her side, and looks out at the world from that position with eyes that are taking everything in. The mother faces away. The baby faces forward. Between them, the arrangement is working exactly as intended.

There is a whole world out there. The hand stays where it is anyway.


"Eyes that are taking everything in."

About the Photographer

Christina Trester

Christina Trester discovered photography long before she understood its power. A quiet obsession that began at thirteen, it would eventually reshape the entire course of her life.

She has photographed all seven continents, into the mountains of Rwanda and the dust of the Lower Zambezi, through the early mornings of Ranthambore and the golden hours of the Serengeti. Her lens seeks not merely to document the natural world, but to reveal something of its interior life: the weight of a gaze, the geometry of a creature in motion, the silence that precedes something extraordinary. The moment the light does something in a forest that no description can quite hold.

Travel has always been inseparable from her work. The places that produced these images are not backdrops; they are the whole point, and sharing them with others is one of the great pleasures of this life. Christina leads small group expeditions and curates bespoke luxury travel experiences for those who want to see the world not as tourists passing through, but as people genuinely entering it.

She is based in Dallas, TX, and is perpetually in motion, following the light wherever it leads.
