STORY

In the heart of Costa Rica’s rainforest, I captured a striking red-eyed tree frog poised elegantly on a delicate branch. Its vivid green, blue, and orange hues stood in stark contrast against the deep purple flowers, creating an image that felt almost surreal. These nocturnal creatures are masters of camouflage, blending seamlessly into their environment, yet here, in the soft glow of twilight, this frog stood out in all its brilliance.

Patience is everything in moments like these. I waited, camera in hand, for the frog’s steady gaze to align perfectly with the surrounding flora. The scene held a quiet tension, stillness before movement, observation before action. In that fleeting instant, the rainforest revealed one of its smallest yet most mesmerising inhabitants. Even in their silence, creatures like this command attention, a reminder that presence is not measured by size but by the undeniable energy of life in the wild.
