Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.    

—Martin Luther King, Jr.



Dear Visura family,


Thank you for being part of and supporting the Visura international community of over 1500 active leading visual storytellers, media professionals, and organizations worldwide including the Planetary Health Alliance, The Washington Post, Bloomberg Businessweek, Scout Film Festival, Diversify.Photo, F-Collective, powerHouse Books, and many many more!


Here at Visura, we design and build software that empowers and connects. We connect visual storytellers to media professionals, publications to their target base, and organizations like NGOs and small businesses to an ever-growing—and image-savvy—audience. And we’re dedicated to empowering and connecting our community, and delivering this exposure and connection at an easily scalable cost.

The Visura ecosystem offers both individuals and organizations access to


1) build beautiful websites with a news blog or in tech terms a content management system with a site builder where you can create and run a beautiful online presence; 


2) a networking platform with a searchable database of images, stories, and visual storytellers and professionals worldwide, perfect for discovering, connecting, hiring and finding gigs, jobs, and sales; and 


3) a community feed for Visura members to share news and stories on what's happening with visual story-hungry audiences worldwide.


Want something custom? We do that too! With panache! 


Our mission is inspired by the belief that in a trillion dollar industry, professional visual storytellers need to make a sustainable living in order to increase the diversity of the professional content and talent found online —especially when the majority of visual storytellers are freelancers.


The Visura platform is unlike any other photography ecosystem for the value, the quality, and the diversity of its visual content and talent. We take heart in hoping our community—whose vital component is YOU—is helping advance journalistic standards, diversity, and perspective of experience in the industry.


As we jump into another year, expect some spectacular news and initiative developments with the science, public health, and education sectors!  



We’re taking the platform global! Let's build something great together! 



We here at Visura are thankful and grateful for your continued support, and from Graham and myself and a little light called Gabo, we wish you a joyous and peaceful holiday and a healthy new year.


—Adriana Teresa & Graham Letorney, co-founders
