About Far From
The world is the size it always was.
Far From is an invitation to explore it slowly, in depth. Each issue explores the culture, landscape, and atmosphere of a single place.
Vocabulary: the slow, the atmospheric, the unsung, the surprising, the hidden, the imaginative.
Less interested in what's new than what's true.
Sometimes that means following the crowd; sometimes going your own way.
Transformative encounters invite learning, unlearning, and renewed wonder.
Recommendations favour intentional journeys that give back and stays that immerse you in place.
Rooted in a love of the journey and the belief that how we travel matters—not just where.
— Nicholas Holt
I’m a writer, photographer, and creative director fuelled by what John Steinbeck called the “ancient shudder”—that visceral, dry-mouthed pull toward the horizon.
Having shaped brand voices as an advertising art director, I founded Far From to document an obsession with inner and outer journeys – the places, and states of mind, that make the hair on my neck stand up.
