The fantastic journey @Step_up_One continues

My passion for photography began the moment I picked up my phone and started capturing nature… and the rest is history. Last night, I found myself under the glow of a full moon — a perfect reminder of why I fell in love with this art in the first place.

How do you stay rooted when everything around you is changing? In documenting Murle culture, I see tradition standing firm—through beads, songs, and stories. This isn’t just photography. It’s memory, identity, and pride. #MurleCulture #SouthSudan #PadiPictures #Culture

As the world modernises, Murle culture stands resilient—rooted in rhythm, ritual, and identity. Documenting it isn’t just art—it’s memory preservation. #MurleCulture #SouthSudan #PadiPictures #CulturalPreservation

“I Speak of Him” – Athok Angui Born into nothing, yet destined for a throne. Mocked, beaten, and forsaken, yet unwavering in His mission. The Alpha and Omega, the altar of peace. I speak of Him. #poetry #poem #paulpadiet

What have we done to ourselves? Our fathers gave everything for our freedom. We shouted “Ana Junubi!” with pride, but now we march in division. South Sudan, we must do better. Unity is our strength. 🇸🇸 #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity

Poetry is Everywhere! As Rebecca Lorins said during the event: “Poetry is everywhere. I encourage you to keep producing poetry and go forward with the open mic.” #photooftheday #photography #photography #poem #poetsofinstagram #poetry #paulpadiet #padipictures

“I want to write. What would I write?” Lizzy Igai didn’t just aim for smiles or laughter. She wanted her audience to feel everything—the pain, the emotions, the raw truth in every word. Her poetry wasn’t just heard; it was felt. #PoetryThatMoves #poetry

Every sunset is a whisper from the sky, reminding us that endings can be breathtaking too. #padipictures #naturelovers #naturephotography #photography #canon #canonphotography #photographychallenge #sunset #sunsetphotography
