What is Photography and Reptiles????
Answers
It frustrates me to see so many fake wildlife photographs of amphibians and reptiles on social media. That’s because those staged photos of captive animals in unnatural positions and situations go viral on a regular basis, and this “success” can inspire other people to follow them in their footsteps.
The process of staging the amphibians and reptiles often involves animal cruelty. I have dedicated many social media posts to this subject, but after all the negativity, I wanted to turn this into something positive. I wanted to share how it should be done in an ethical way. This inspired me to put together the below guidelines on how to photograph amphibians and reptiles in the wild.
How to find amphibians and reptiles is not part of this post. The focus is on ethics and photography.
