Amazon River Dolphins from below, Brazil. Photo by Kevin Schafer – @schaferpho – Choosing images to illustrate a story in National Geographic is a collaborative effort, involving the photographer, several editors and a designer. With limited space, and many thousands of available pictures to choose from, making the final selection can be a daunting task. Sometimes, otherwise worthy pictures have to be left out, especially if they don’t advance the narrative. Such is the case with this picture, shot on assignment for @ナショナルジオグラフィック on Brazil’s Rio Negro. It was one of my favorite images from that project, yet never appeared in the magazine. Why? Simply because there were other underwater images that better told the story we wanted to tell, about these dolphins and their lives within the flooded forests of the Amazon. In this image, a pair of dolphins circle directly above me, as I hung on a rope ten feet down. The blood red color is entirely natural, captured without filters or gimmicks, caused by the midday sun passing through the tannin-rich water of the Rio Negro, here “eclipsed’ by the dolphin directly above me. #boto #amazondolphin #nikon
