Into the Wild — Contemplation | The Story
Some moments in the wild stay with you forever.
This photograph, Contemplation (also known as Chimpanzee Dreaming), was created deep in Uganda's Kibale Forest after days of trekking through dense rainforest in search of wild chimpanzees.
Then, in complete silence, this moment unfolded.
An alpha male named Totti lay back on the forest floor, hands gently clasped, gazing up into the canopy after being rejected by a female. For a fleeting moment, the boundary between human and animal emotion seemed to disappear.
This image went on to win the Animal Portrait category at Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2017, but to me it has always been about something far quieter: vulnerability, longing, and the quiet dignity of the wild.
On World Chimpanzee Day, it's also a reminder that these remarkable animals continue to face threats from habitat loss, disease, and the illegal wildlife trade. Protecting them means protecting the forests they call home.
What emotion do you see in his expression?
Collector Stories
Reflections from collectors who have welcomed Peter Delaney's artwork into their homes around the world.
After some delay, I finally had 'Bonds of Love' framed and placed on my bedroom wall, a gift from my husband for our 50th wedding anniversary. He passed away not long after, and two years on, this photograph continues to comfort me. It is the first thing I see every morning, and it gladdens my heart.
This is not a photograph hanging on a wall. It is a window into something vast and unhurried.
To have one of Peter Delaney's images in your home is your connection to a world few of us will ever experience, and a connection to nature and the earth that is truly rare.
Queen of the Mara has occupied a central place in our living room since 2020. It helped us feel connected to the world at a time when we... weren't.
Each print carries its own story, creating a lasting connection between the collector and Africa's wild places.
