Grip
📍 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.

All prints smaller than 16x20, as well as metal and acrylic prints, are open edition.
Larger prints are limited editions of 50 prints. Each limited edition print is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.
Archival Paper (Framed or Unframed)
Archival paper is a professional-grade fine art print medium designed to resist fading and degradation over time. These prints are made to last generations, not years. I use archival Hahnemuhle fine art papers. Archival paper prints are matted with a white mat and are built to resist fading. Framed versions are finished under UV-protective glass and arrive ready to hang.
Aluminum
Aluminum prints are created by infusing images onto ChromaLuxe aluminum. The result is a vivid, contemporary piece with a slight metallic sheen and exceptional durability. No frame or glass needed.
Aluminum prints are lightweight and moisture-resistant. They arrive with a float mount attached to the back, giving the print a clean, frameless appearance on the wall.
Acrylic
HD acrylic photo prints are stunning, crisp, and bring out the best of any photo or artwork, intensifying color depth and giving the image an almost luminous quality. They make a striking statement and are ready to hang.
All Acrylic prints are HD-printed directly onto the back of a sleek aluminum panel for added durability.
Acrylic prints make a dramatic statement and work particularly well with images that have strong light, color, or contrast. They arrive with mounting posts and are ready to hang.
Archival Paper Prints
Keep out of direct sunlight to preserve color over time. UV-protective glass helps significantly. Clean the glass gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not touch the paper surface itself.
Aluminum Prints
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth if needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Aluminum is moisture-resistant but not waterproof, so avoid humid environments like bathrooms. No glass means no glare, making these a great option for brightly lit rooms.
Acrylic Prints
Use an anti-static, acrylic-safe cloth to clean the surface. Avoid paper towels or ammonia-based cleaners, which can scratch or cloud the acrylic. Because acrylic can attract dust, a quick wipe-down every few weeks keeps it looking its best.
General
All prints are best displayed indoors, away from direct heat sources. For large pieces, we recommend using proper wall anchors appropriate for your wall type.
Walnut Frame
A warm, natural wood frame with a clean modern profile. The walnut finish complements earth tones, warm light, and organic subjects particularly well. If the image has warmth in it, this frame will bring it forward.
Black Frame
A satin black frame with a slim, contemporary profile. Works with virtually any interior, letting the image do the talking. A reliable choice if you're unsure, or if the print is going into a modern or neutral space.

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.
