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

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Time To Break Away

In 2018, I introduced you all to an incredible singer from St Lucia, D.B.L, who I found while scrolling through Instagram. I have quietly kept up with all his news, he has done so many amazing things. In October 2025, D.B.L released a single called Time To Break Away and, in this post, I am going to share my thoughts on the song and video with you.  Time To Break Away by D.B.L Image from Genius Time To Break Away explores the themes of rebellion, overcoming struggle and escaping negativity and talks about serious conflict we see happening in the world. Listening to the lyrics makes me feel emotional, and I think everyone who listens to it will feel something.  "You have to go to sleep with one eye open The rebel’s on the prowl to search for victim You got to know the rules or else it’s the end Now look at what’s around you all the bloodshed The propaganda spread the lies that dem spread The bigotry deceit to hide the problem Hypocrisy me me can’t understand I think about the c...
