Kah Kit Yoong is a Melbourne-based travel photographer and writer. The life he had mapped out as a doctor was changed forever when he took his first snap with an SLR camera in 2005. He then developed his skills while wandering the cobblestone streets of historic Italian towns and exploring the wild mountainous island state of Tasmania. His inspiration is to preserve forever those special moments he has borne witness to - where light and circumstance come together in a remarkable way. Kah Kit's work has been featured in many international publications including National Geographic, Popular Photography, Nature's Best, Digital Camera, Digital Photographer, Australian Photography and numerous articles for Canon.

Awards include : Nature's Best Ocean View 2009, POTY Digital Camera 2008, 1st prize Popular Photography "Your Best Shot", Naturescapes Landscape Image of the Year 2008 1st prize, ANZANG Nature Photography Competition 2007-2009, Nature Photographers Online Magazine 2007 awards 1st Prize, winner of the first TPN Photographer of the Year Award 2007, ICP Awards 2010 landscape and wildlife.

My Blog

As I am heavily involved in critiquing the work of others on other websites, I am unable to keep close tabs on all my contacts and cannot reciprocate everyone who has me listed. I am happy to critique work on request. In addition, the group I recently formed, Mountain Light, has kept me exceedingly busy. If you would like to see some of the most amazing landscape photography in the world, feel free to join up and participate in the discussions.

No photographs can be used without my permission.

I can be contacted for prints, commissions and tuition via flickrmail or through my website.

    "Kah Kit Yoong is one of those photographers you will say 'yes, I remember him when he was just getting famous'. He is one of the greatest artists of the new generation of landscape and travel photographers. His work is consistently evocative, with outstanding compositions and he has a fantastic eye for natural light. And in my opinion he is just hitting his stride."

    "You can see for yourself that Kah Kit Yoong has an amazing set of images that is constantly growing. One of the things that sets Kah Kit apart from some of the other amazing photographers out there, is his willingness to help newcomers learn. Ask him a technical question about one of his photos, and rest assured that you will get a response. I have learned a lot about composition from studying Kah's images, and would just like to say, thanks for sharing!"

    "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."

    "As 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."
