For freelance photographer Rukshan Rodrigo, it’s about making moments count and click
Photography today has become a global din of freeze-frames. Millions of pictures are uploaded every minute and those million pictures speak a thousand words. Every professional photographer hopes for ‘the epic shot’, the once in a lifetime collision of opportunity.
But to Rukshan Rodrigo, a freelance photographer based in Melbourne, photography is more the art of observation, about finding something interesting in an ordinary place and turning it into a creative art, which is possibly what makes him not just a wonderful photographer but a true artist.
“I love the artistic side of the photography. This is the most enjoyable part of my photography hobby,” says Rukshan, who is a Bachelor of Multimedia Studies, which he calls the path to the digital media industry.
“Creativity is what I thirst for, and I am willing to experiment,” says Rukshan, who works as a front-end engineer in a leading digital agency in Australia. “Capturing moments, and creating memories is more of a hobby that lets me explore my creative side,” he adds.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Thank you for your support.
