Kah Kit Yoong
Drag to set position!
I am an Australian-based travel photographer who inadvertently picked up an SLR camera 7 years ago. Since that moment I have been the recipient of numerous prestigious international photography awards such as Veolia / BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Windland Smith Rice. My articles and photos have appeared in many publications such as Popular Photography, National Geographic and BBC Wildlife to name a few. My work has appeared in exhibitions all over the globe as well as back home in Australia. I'm equally in my element whether it be blending into the elegant streets of Paris, standing barefoot in iceberg laden lakes in New Zealand or discussing life in Cuba with a local in his family home. Check out my website for many many more photos from around the world and my blog for the stories, techniques and philosophy behind the images. I also run workshops in Australia, New Zealand, Paris and the Venice Carnevale. I am currently a moderator on the Nature Photographers Online Magazine.

I am truly in awe of the photographs Kah Kit produces. The efforts he has gone to, the variety of landscapes he has shown me, the intriguing compositions he creates and the level of detail I can only aspire to, are all translated into a single exposure. He has also taken the time to provide me with some helpful constructive feedback of some images of my own, which I am very grateful for. Keep 'em coming Kah Kit because I really like what you've got to show.
Read lessAs a fellow landscape photographer, I can relate to the beauty of what our world presents us. Yoong seems to capture the dramatic essence of natural light and shadow of magnificent corners of the world. His images make me want to linger in that light. Keep up the good work.
