Infusing her work with a down-to-earth vibe, Julia Manchik uses photography as a story-telling medium to share her travels from her own perspective.
In her travel blog that she started as a way to keep her friends and family updated on her six month long adventure with her husband, Manchik shows a more personal side to travel. Instead of looking for all of the touristy landmarks that have been documented in photographs a thousand times over, she captures the quaint beauty of a retro diner sign, a feather collection, home decor elements, the waves crashing on a rocky shore and the cup of coffee she had that day.
Julia Manchik gives her photography more of an intimate, Instagram type of look than a commercial tourist feeling.
