This World Photography Day, we turned the lens on talented photographers from our school editorial boards, inviting them to showcase their most memorable click. From beautifully composed frames to fleeting moments and unusual perspectives, these photographs are a celebration of their ability to see what others might miss.

Live performances can be very captivating. The performer’s face disappeared behind his hair, leaving only the movement of his hands and the guitar visible. I clicked at that instant, and the photograph became less about the performer and more about his complete immersion in the music.

I love this photograph because it shows a sunrise at the beach in Kanyakumari, while also capturing the camera capturing it. As Mars says in Rick Riordan’s Son of Neptune, "Life is precious only because it ends, kid." Moments like this? They don’t last forever.

While visiting Safdarjung Tomb with my family, I experimented with a glass sphere instead of taking conventional photographs. The upside-down reflection beautifully captured the monument’s regal architecture in sunlight.

I was taking a stroll when I happened to notice the beautiful glass-like water droplets on these leaves. Upon a closer look, I could see the world reflecting inside them. I am glad that I paused to capture it, as it became the picture I look at whenever I feel low. It reminds me that beauty can be found in the smallest and most unpredictable places.

The plant was just there, standing quietly under the rainbow, and it made me pause to notice my surroundings. A quiet reminder that even the briefest moments can leave a lasting impression, even after they’ve passed.

I captured this photo when I travelled to Mussoorie after my Class X board exams. Visiting the peaceful site of Dalai Hills, I noticed that the place was very calm in spite of being surrounded by numerous people. The feeling of sitting there, observing the Buddha statue surrounded by the blue sky and clouds passing by, made me capture this calmness.

I clicked this photo from my DSLR camera, during my visit to Gwalior in summer break when I was a beginner. I was delighted to be amidst nature and its magic. At that moment, I felt gratitude to witness such a beautiful sight and captured it.

This photograph is memorable to me because it captures the connection between humans and nature through a simple yet adventurous moment. Nature can provide experiences that digital or artificial spaces lack.
