Nyshan, better known as Nyshan Shot That, is a photographer whocaptures moments with honesty, emotion, and a sharp eye for storytelling.Whether he’s behind the scenes with your favorite artist or documentingintimate, everyday moments, his goal is always the same—make it real.
His latest project took him on set withVybz Kartel, for what’s believed to be one of the dancehall legend’s firstmusic videos shot in the U.S. since his release. One portrait in particularstands out—Vybz Kartel in front of a bold yellow wall. “That wall just felt so Jamaican to me,” Nyshan says. “It feltauthentic, like something you'd see walking through Kingston. I knew I had toshoot it.”
Photography started out as a fun hobbyfor Nyshan. He was always surrounded by music and creative people, so it feltnatural to pick up a camera. “I bought a cheap one just for fun, just for theInstagram pics with friends,” he says. “But everyone kept telling me the photoswere fire, so I kept shooting.”
The turning point came when one of his friends asked him to shoot their performance while opening for Lil Durk. Nyshan stuck around and ended up shooting Lil Durk’s set too. “That was it for me. I was locked in,” he says. “King Von reposted my photos from that night. I was 18. That meant everything.”
Nyshan’s approach is simple and intuitive. "I try not to overthink it. I take photos the way I’d want someone to shoot me. That mindset has really helped me build trust with the people I work with.” His work doesn’t just look good, it feels good,and that’s what makes it stick.
He’s now working on a special projectcalled “PINK,” a personal body ofwork built around an acronym he created. While the full meaning is still underwraps, he’s already dropped a teaser trailer and promises something unique. “Idon’t want to give away too much yet, but it’s something I’ve put a lot into. Ithink people are really going to feel it.”
From big stages to quiet corners, Nyshan Shot That continues to tell stories that matter—through color, composition, and connection. His journey is just getting started, and his lens is always ready.
