Do you have a source to back that up? None of the articles I’ve read make any mention of this photographer. If that’s his “specialty” I’m pretty certain I’d be able to find something that makes mention of it.

To back... what up? That it's Kurit Afsheen or that this is what Kurit Afsheen does?

Let's look at some of Afsheen's other work.

Do you think these just happen? They are definitely *posed* (there's at least one he uses a common prop between them), and the way you pose frogs is, well.... yeah. You wire them up. They aren't docile photography subjects, and they go limp too easily when drugged.

He's an artist, not a wildlife photographer. He creates some "cute" photos.
