Inspiring Photographers

Hey everyone!

I absolutely love taking photos. My parents bought me a DSLR camera, a Nikon D5100, for Christmas a few years ago and I have used it at almost every party and family gathering and taken it on a few outings to the city. In my final two semesters at college, I was on the newsroom photography team so I took it with me on assignments and those photos were used in quite a few news articles, written by myself and other students. It was so exciting to see my photos being used in the media. After finishing college, I didn't use my camera for a very long time. I only took it out when we had family come over for birthdays and other special occasions.

I have only just recently taking out more and now I actually want to seriously learn and improve my skills because photography is a very important part of journalism. Lately I have been looking at photography accounts on Instagram and drawing inspiration from them.
Below is a list of amazing photographers and the types of photos they take.

Len Pearce @wippylion - Travel photos and portraits. He also makes cool music.

Pete Souza @petesouza - He was the former president of the United States Barack Obama's official photographer, He inspired me to do "A day in the life of...." photo essay where I spent a day with someone, taking photos while they worked.

Ingrid @ingrids_photos - Amazing concert photography, which is something I really want to become good at. I'm going to take my camera to the next concert I go to and see what I can do.

Chris Lanzon - @lanzscaped - Cool photos taken at various locations.

Andrew Clements @andrewwclements - Also takes amazing location shots, portraits

Lara @larajanephotography - Another amazing concert photographer

They all inspire me to work hard and keep practising. Hopefully I will be an awesome photographer like them one day.
If you have Instagram, make sure to check them out and maybe give them a follow.



Have a great week everybody!

Love Vishi xoxo

Virtual Stop #1: Lymington - A Seaside Gem Discovered by Chance

Welcome to my virtual travel series, where I explore beautiful corners of the world without leaving my bed. Inspired by TikTok livestreamers and walking tour videos, these posts capture what I see, feel and learn as I journey through new places from afar.  I wasn't planning to visit Lymington - not virtually, not in any way. I had never heard of it before watching my favorite singing buskers livestream from the quaint little town in the UK and now I'm captivated. The charm of Lymington unfolded before my eyes: Cobbled pathways, rows of boats bobbing gently at the marina and friendly locals to stop and enjoy the music. I experienced it from my bed.  There is something so welcoming about the town, The people passing by weren't just polite - they were supportive. Some clapped, others left kind words or a few coins, and a few even stayed for songs. There are three ladies who go often to support the guys. They have all been following them on TikTok for a while and met each other...

The Prove It Game

The public opinions on Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are divided. Some love her and most seem to hate her. I admire her in some ways. I just watched an interview she did with podcast host Jamie Kern Lima and something she said resonated with me.  Image from Jamie Kern Lima YouTube.  Here it is: "We spend so much of our lives trying to prove something. You have to prove that you're enough, you have to prove that you're pretty enough, you have to prove that you're smart enough, you have to prove that you're a good wife or a good friend, and I am just so done with the prove it game. When you get to the place where you feel like I don't have to prove anything to you anymore. I don't have to prove that I'm a good person, I don't have to prove that I'm a good wife or mum or friend, I don't have to prove that I work hard. It can be really freeing when you stop playing the prove it game." - Meghan Markle. I completely agree with...

Social Media Ban

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that the Australian Government will enact laws to ban children under 16 years of age from social media and here I am sharing my thoughts on this.  Image from The Chapel Hairdressers - Horsham Facebook page  There are many benefits of social media. We can share photos and videos with our families and friends to keep them updated on our lives, instantly communicate with them, have a record of special memories, businesses can promote their products and services, connect with people professionally and do so much more. So many people are working on social media full time as influencers, working with brands and creating content online  and some have even married people they met online.  Social media can also be used as a weapon.   Preteens and teenagers go through puberty, stress about getting good grades at school, do their best to live up to their parents expectations, have many things they are worried about and just wan...
