Mark Mortensen, Frog man (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2025)

Meet Phil Lewis—better known as Phil the Frogfather. A passionate underwater and macro photographer, Phil specialises in capturing frogs at night in national parks, a unique focus that earned him his nickname. I met Phil during a stop in Forster, NSW, where he was swimming laps at the beach baths. A quick chat revealed his Liverpool roots, his journey to Australia, and his love for nature photography. You can find his stunning work on Facebook and Instagram under Phil the Frogfather. (And yes, the goggles make the portrait!)
