Rivers serve as the veins that course throughout our planet. Their flowing waters are essential to life. As a world dependent upon this vital resource, how often do we look beneath the water’s surface? Equipped with a mask, snorkel and camera, I focus on creating imagery that offers a unique underwater perspective into the life that inhabits these environments. Working with Freshwaters Illustrated, a non-profit that uses film and photography to educate the public on a variety of freshwater topics, I hope to inspire curiosity and help encourage everyone to get out and explore their local river.  With all of us having some connection to a river, I believe the power to introduce communities to their aquatic neighbors will become fundamental in the movement to conserve these wild environments.

A film to save the salamanders

Travel through the forest and beneath the water’s surface in Freshwaters Illustrated’s new film MARCH OF THE NEWTS! This short film offers a unique look into the wild lives of newts and brings to attention an emerging pathogen that threatens their existence. The cryptic lives of newts and salamanders are worlds apart from our own, yet we owe them a great deal of thanks and respect for the roles they play in keeping the places we play healthy.
