Else Away · A visual journal by Yaren
Stories from
elsewhere.
Photographs and films that make a place
feel like somewhere you’ve already missed.
Based everywhere

01 The practice
I follow the feeling of a place—
the light, the people, the little rituals.
Else Away is Yaren’s visual diary and creative studio for soulful stays, independent businesses, and people who care about the story behind what they make.

A year in stories.
Every season carries its own rhythm.
Choose one, then open a story.
Soft light, new rituals, open windows.
03 Behind the lens
Hi, I’m Yaren.
The eye behind it all.
I’m a photographer, filmmaker, and incurable wanderer. I started Else Away to document the places that make us slow down—and to help thoughtful hosts and local makers share what makes their corner of the world special.
My work is unhurried, observant, and rooted in real life. Less posing. More presence.
