Portraits of apes

These beautiful portraits reveal the incredibly humanlike expressions of a variety of apes.Through piercing eyes and finite facial details, the intimate photographs show the animals looking angry, sad, delighted and pensive. They are the works of Manuela Kulpa — an IT consultant and keen photographer from near Cologne, Germany — who shot the apes predominantly at zoos across Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany and the Netherlands. Manuela, 45, said, "Emotions like our own are mirrored in the faces of the apes — you really can believe what you see in their faces." (Caters News)
