Photography tips:
Photograph the Black-faced macaque using a telephoto lens to capture its distinctive features and social behaviors. It is best to photograph early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the light is soft and the animal is more active. Be discreet, as black-faced macaques live in groups and can become nervous if you get too close.
