All Things Wild Photography and Art

Hello Reader I hope this message finds you well, wherever you are reading from. Today I wanted to share a quiet reflection — one born from time spent close to the ground, moving slowly, and paying attention to lives that are often overlooked. There is a whole world holding the forest together that most people never notice. It lives close to the ground, inside leaves, beneath bark, along fragile stems. These lives don’t rely on strength or speed to survive. They rely on precision, timing,...

Hi Reader, I’m writing today with a full heart, simply to say thank you. When my photography gear broke, asking for help wasn’t easy for me. I’m someone who is used to handling things on my own, quietly and independently. But this time, I reached out — and you showed up in ways that truly moved me. Your donations, messages, and support mean that I can continue telling the hidden stories of nature — the small lives that matter so deeply and hold our ecosystems together. Because of you, I’ll be...

Today I want to share a new blog article that comes straight from my heart and from years of guiding people through the rainforest. One question I’m asked all the time is:“How do you find all those tiny creatures?” People think it’s magic… or that I was born with special eyes. But the truth is much simpler and so much more meaningful:the jungle reveals itself to those who learn how to look. My newest article is called: 👉 “How to See the Unseeable: Training Your Eyes for the Jungle”In this...

Hi Reader, Today I want to share something much more personal than usual—something I’ve been moving through quietly for the past weeks. I’ve been feeling disconnected from my photography. Not from nature itself, not from the rainforest that surrounds me every day, but from that inner spark that used to pull me toward my camera with excitement, curiosity, and devotion. This season taught me things I didn’t expect.About inspiration.About the pressures of the photography industry.About...

Hi Reader, If you’ve ever walked through a tropical forest, you’ve probably seen them—long trails of tiny ants carrying pieces of leaves much bigger than themselves. Most people glance at them and keep walking. But behind those moving green flags is one of the most extraordinary natural stories I know. This week on Curiosities of Nature, I’m sharing a new article about the fascinating world of leaf-cutter ants—the rainforest’s tiny farmers who cultivate fungus, defend their gardens with...

Dear friends, You know that through my photography, I’ve dedicated my life to revealing the hidden beauty of the small world — the insects, frogs, fungi, and plants that so often go unnoticed but play such essential roles in the balance of nature. Each image I take is not just a photograph — it’s a story of connection, resilience, and wonder. It’s my way of giving a voice to nature, of helping others see that even the tiniest creature matters. But recently, something happened that I never...

Dear Reader Nature never ceases to amaze, and Cyphonia clavata is proof of that! This extraordinary treehopper carries a near-perfect replica of an ant on its back—an evolutionary masterpiece of deception. In my latest blog post, I dive into the science behind this bizarre adaptation, its survival strategy, and the challenges of capturing it through macro photography. Whether you're a nature lover, photographer, or just curious about evolution’s most mind-blowing tricks, this is a story you...

Dear Reader If you already know me, you know how deeply fascinated I am by the ingenious strategies nature uses to survive. Every organism, no matter how small, is locked in an endless evolutionary game of deception, adaptation, and survival. This time, I want to introduce you to a truly astonishing master of disguise: a mantis that mimics an ant. Yes, you read that right—certain mantises in the Acanthopidae family have evolved to look and act like ants, tricking both predators and prey with...
