It’s no surprise the Osa is one of my favorite places in the world. I grew up between the United States and Costa Rica, and the Osa largely inspired my passion for wildlife and the natural world. Years later, I found myself working on the Osa Peninsula as a field biologist, where photography evolved from a scientific tool into a powerful medium for wildlife and conservation storytelling.

Since 2017, this remarkable ecosystem has been both my research site and home away from home. I have spent months each year studying wildlife, documenting biodiversity, and exploring the intricate relationships that define tropical ecosystems. I have documented everything from elusive rainforest wildlife to the extraordinary explosive breeding events of gliding treefrogs—the focus of my doctoral research and the subject of the Planet Earth III sequence I helped develop and film. Images from this work have also been recognized internationally, including the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.

More than a collection of wildlife photographs, these images reflect nearly a decade of exploration, scientific discovery, and an enduring connection to one of the world's last great tropical wildernesses. They are a celebration of the biodiversity, wonder, and conservation importance of Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula, my second home.
