Travel

Photographers are often travellers, but travellers are always photographers.

I love taking photos and documenting my journeys, and writing about them helps me relive each journey all over again.

Melbourne & the Great Ocean Road Travel Photography
ByJanice Yi June 8, 2016June 8, 2016

Of the cities that we visited in Australia, Melbourne was definitely our favourite. It was bigger than Brisbane, but smaller than Sydney. It was just the right size really. It has history and really old Victorian houses, hip neighbourhoods, and a very artsy vibe with a youthful energy that was hard not to like. A little sad that we only had two nights there before we continued on a short road trip for the Great Ocean Road.

The Great Ocean Road drive was beautiful. It reminded me a lot of California! So if you like ocean coastal drives, don’t miss … See the full story

Uluru Travel & Landscape Photography
ByJanice Yi May 18, 2016May 18, 2016

Last year Mike and I took an extended adventure and spent 2 months travelling through Australia, New Zealand and Bali. I’ve finally gotten around to posting some photos from my DSLR (iphone photos are on Instagram), took me long enough, but in my defence, client work always comes first! :) Starting with 3 very short, very very hot days (40 degree celsius + days) in Uluru.

When we planned our trip, we knew that in February it would still be summer in Australia, and that meant that it would be sweltering out in the Red Centre, as it is called. … See the full story

On the Road // Thoughts on Travelling
ByJanice Yi March 29, 2016April 27, 2016

It’s hard for me to write a personal post. Mainly because usually the thoughts in my head are very jumbled up and incoherent. And this post in particular has been a work in progress for quite some time, I think what I really wanted to delve into when I started this was to explore what it is that I love so much about travelling and life on the road.

“Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey” – Pat … See the full story

San Francisco Travel Photography
ByJanice Yi June 17, 2015November 18, 2015

Ah San Fran, you lovely city you. I can’t believe it was a year ago that I was there. But, I am going back in a week to photograph a secret wedding and I’m so excited!

Like most people who have been, I loved San Fran. It’s the only city in America I would ever move to. I just loved the vibe of the city. Without getting too political in a blog post, it is here (and in other parts of California) where I feel like the founding principles of America have been realized to the best of their potential: … See the full story

Iceland Travel Photography // Into the Fjords
ByJanice Yi May 4, 2015November 18, 2015

Three. That’s the number of times I’ve been to Iceland now. But no matter how many times I’ve been there, it just doesn’t seem to be enough. The more I go, the more I want to go back. I also feel like I can never quite capture in photographs the Iceland that I see in my mind’s eye.

For this trip, I photographed a very lovely fellow Canadian couple in and around south Iceland for their anniversary session. Then Mike and I picked up a rental car and drove up to the Snaefellsness peninsula and then on to the … See the full story

California Travel & Landscape Photography
ByJanice Yi March 12, 2015November 18, 2015

There is no doubt that California is an iconic place when you think about travelling in America. But to each of us, California means something different. If you asked me what comes to mind when I think of beautiful landscape, it’s the rocky shoreline dotted with ethereal coastal Cypress trees with the Pacific Coast Highway winding through, and the ever blue Pacific ocean lapping at the foot of the cliffs. It’s fog that dissipates by mid-morning and rolls back in in the afternoon, it’s the towering giant redwood forests, and the fur seals with their unique calls. It’s a place, … See the full story
