01 The practice
I follow the feeling of a place—
the light, the people, the little rituals.
Else Away is a visual diary of places worth discovering, staying in, and remembering.
Currently based in Istanbul, available worldwide.

02 About me
Hi, I’m Yaren.
The eye behind it all.
I’m a photographer, visual storyteller, and incurable wanderer. I created Else Away to document the places that make us slow down — quiet corners, sunlit rooms, unfamiliar streets, and the little moments that stay with us.
What began as a love for travelling and photography has grown into a journey of discovering places, staying in them, and telling their stories through my own eyes.
My work is unhurried, observant, and rooted in real life. I’m less interested in simply showing where I’ve been, and more interested in capturing how it felt to be there.
Less posing. More presence.
