STORY

I found this frog perched quietly in the undergrowth of the Ecuadorian rainforest, almost invisible until my light caught the shine in its eye. What followed was a study in contrast: vivid green skin and rich red limbs, emerging from the blackness like a sculpture. There was no movement, just breath and stillness. I adjusted my light slowly, wanting to bring out the texture of its skin without startling it. The frog didn’t flinch. It seemed to accept the camera’s presence as though this portrait belonged to it. Sometimes, these quiet encounters offer the most clarity. In the darkness, without clutter or chaos, the elegance of nature becomes undeniable. This frame is about simplicity, focus, and reverence.
