The official lyric video for Vika and Linda’s beautiful song, That’s How I Pray, featuring my ocean photography (from my books Immerse and The Next Wave) has just been released. It’s been such a joy to collaborate with Vika and Linda for this special lyric video; ocean swimming (and V+L’s music) holds a special place in my heart. And I’m still moved to tears every time I watch it.

The song is taken from Vika & Linda’s album ‘Where do you come from?’ due for release on 5 June 2026. I can’t wait for the album and for the upcoming concert in Frankston. We’ll be there!

My new book The Next Wave has been officially launched. I've been out and about getting it into our local book shops and gift shops. A big thank you to the retailers who've already taken copies of The Next Wave into their shops and onto their shelves. I'm grateful!

See the list below for those already stocking the book. I'm adding to this list all the time, so keep updated here: www.fionabasile.com/thenextwavestockists

And if you don't see a copy in your local shop, do let them know! They can always call me to arrange delivery.

I encourage everyone to shop locally to support our small business owners, and to support us, your creatives! xx

Sending love and best wishes to all gathering in Tokyo for the opening of the TIFA 2024 & 2025 Winners Exhibition this evening. My book Immerse won Gold in the 2024 TIFA awards and three photos also won awards - Silver, Bronze and Honourable Mention.

As shared by TIFA, ‘Opening on May 26 and on view through May 31 at Le Déco Gallery, the TIFA Winners exhibition brings together a refined selection of award-winning works from the 2024 and 2025 editions, spanning 11 categories. Further highlights from Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners will be presented in a dynamic digital format.

‘Presented in collaboration with the Kogame Photography Community, the exhibition unfolds alongside a parallel program highlighting both internationally recognized works from IPA, PX3, BIFA, and TIFA, and “THE FACTUM,” a thoughtfully curated selection exploring themes of nature, culture, history, and human connection.

‘Bringing together diverse perspectives - from fine art and nature to editorial and architectural photography - the exhibition offers a compelling insight into contemporary visual storytelling.’

While I can’t be there in person to join the celebrations and exhibition in Tokyo, I’m definitely with you all in spirit!
