Published: The New York Times - Imperiled Frog Populations

Earlier this year I was asked to shoot a story on declining frog and salamander populations in the United States by The New York Times. I met up with ARC biologists down in Francis Marion National forest just outside Charleston South Carolina to spend the evening and late into the night searching for specific frog and salamander species in the South Carolina swamps. Right away we found several salamander species in the water and under some logs. Later into the evening we found the frogs they were looking for. During the shoot I was asked to cover the process in photographs but also with a few short video clips for their web page article. This shoot is a testament to what I love. Working with small crews in the field photographing real people doing what they do. To shoot this I traveled light with a couple of camera bodies, a water housing, and one light set up to get the portrait and night shots.
