Hailing from Australia, Peter Yan is a photographer who seeks to capture the moments that are sewn into the fabric of the places he visits. Best known for his ability to portray landscapes & aerial views, Peter’s artwork is appreciated by his customers across the globe. As an extension to his photography, he works with brands to enhance their social media presence through images & digital marketing; doing trips for media shoots to build awareness, increase promotion, and overall exposure for their business.
To pursue a full-time life of telling stories through his photography, Peter left behind a successful career with Apple. He has now grown his social media accounts (Instagram & TikTok) to over half a million followers from far & wide, who follow him to be a part of his journey. One of his most successful images to date is of a Cormorant fisherman in China. This image truly brought a vitality to Peter’s work & also much-deserved attention to a culture, & practice that is still held in high regard in China, Japan, & Korea. Peter’s Cormorant fisherman video on TikTok has been watched over 20 million times.
Peter’s work has appeared in over thirteen countries & thirty galleries worldwide, truly providing a global impact through his craft. With features in publications such as GQ, Condé Nast Traveler, & Lonely Planet, the sense of interest in visual storytelling is evergreen with Peter at the forefront of the movement. Collaborating with a myriad of world-class brands and tourism boards such as Olympus, Adobe, Four Seasons, Changi Airport, San Francisco, & Turkey (to name a few), Peter’s main passion is for capturing scenes that prompt others to get out and explore!
With a vast range of skills, Peter has been described by past clients as flexible & artful, always bringing their vision to life, & adapting to the varying conditions that travel-photography can warrant. As a visual content creator, digital marketer, & entrepreneur, Peter is a force to be reckoned with & just hopes that his photography will inspire others to travel, & follow their dreams the same way he has.
When he’s not traveling, Peter is quite introverted & you can usually find him relaxing at home, & watching YouTube. Being a Pisces, he stays true to the creative tones of his zodiac sign, & is always trying to find ways to put inspiration into his art. Chinese-born, Peter is a big fan of Chinese food, but one of the things he loves most about his travels is being able to experience the varying cultures (& cuisines) of life across the globe.
