Not to say the picture is bad, just well...

Seems he used a fisheye lens, judging from the curvature of the
ground, which means he must have been very close to the orang utan,
maybe even a metre or less.

Perhaps he put the camera on the ground looking upwards and then used
a remote control to activate the shutter?
And guessing more, perhaps he put some food next to the camera, to
lure the monkey down from the tree?

Replying to myself, in the article he writes this is a reflection in a
pond, camera pointed downwards. But it still looks like a very wide
angle shot, so the camera must have been very close to the monkey.

I thought it was most probably a fixed camera, fired remotely. I
wondered if it might even be from a GoPro. Still an extraordinarily
creative shot.
