I would argue that all images carry a message, but when that message is as well thought-out and executed as the Ruben Brulat Primates portfolio is, it becomes a vehicle for reflection and maybe even change. Taking the fragile human form and placing it in formidable situations, he shows just how vulnerable we are in the world.
The Ruben Brulat Primates portfolio places mankind on the same platform as other species, no more or less special. By doing so, he also focuses on the raw beauty of the individual within vast natural environments.
