Underwater Photography of Reptiles and Amphibians

At Engbretson Underwater Photography we're best known for our exceptional underwater images of freshwater fishes of North America. But because our photographers spend so much time under the surface of lakes and rivers, they also often observe and photograph a variety of aquatic non-fish species. Over the years, we've accumulated many underwater images of turtles, snakes, and salamanders. We've added them to our online galleries because they represent a segment of the underwater ecosystem that helps make these freshwater environments both interesting and diverse.  

Today we've added some new Eastern Hellbender Salamander images from our ace photographer Isaac Szabo.  Because Eastern Hellbenders are largely reclusive creatures whose range is shrinking, they're not easy to locate and photograph. Isaac's done a great job of traveling to remote areas in North Carolina and other places where they can still be found in significant numbers. His hellbender images are striking.  

To view all of Isaac's underwater material, see our Isaac Szabo Gallery here, or visit our gallery solely devoted to underwater images of reptiles and amphibians.

I'm really excited to announce that photographer Bryce Gibson has joined our team of exceptional fish photographers here at Engbretson Underwater Photography!  Bryce is from Tennessee, home to one of the most ecologically rich and diverse native fish communities in North America.  His images of many unique and rare species from snail darters to hellbender salamanders helps fill an important niche in our efforts to expand our coverage to include all North American fish species, both game and non-game species alike, as well as some select amphibians.  You can view more of Bryce's work in our Bryce Gibson Gallery here.

Bryce joins Todd Pearsons, Christopher Morey, Roger Peterson, Isaac Szabo and Paul Vecsei on our "dream team" of the USA's top freshwater fish photographers!  His work can be licensed for commercial and editorial purposes by contacting us here at Engbretson Underwater Photography.
