About me

My name is Lachlan Mahoney. I am 17 and Australian, but for the past several years I have been living in Mongolia after moving from England. I have been to 31 countries and been photographing them for about 4 years. I am a self taught photographer with the dream of one day making it big in the industry. This blog is my way of sharing my world with everyone, and bringing them along on my amazing adventures as well as showing how I progress with my photography. I currently am shooting on a fuji x100s (which is something I absolutely adore), I do also shoot on my Canon 600D with a few different lenses. I hope you guys enjoy my blog, since the I started it almost a year ago the support I've gotten has been amazing. So if you feel like it share it with anyone you want.

Thank you all so much.

Big News


So not the best photo of my bestie, But I have some big news about why I haven't been uploading anything in a long while. Namuun and I have been planning for over 2 years now to do a photo collaboration. And we are now finally getting to do it. Our goal is to shine a new light on a major problem in Ulaanbaatar. Saddly I haven't been able to do much photography outside of this project for a while now and that is the reason I haven't been uploading anything. But I promise that once Namuun's and my project is finished and our gallery has passed I will resume uploading as I once did. Thank you all whom keep checking my blog sorry that I have disappointed you. But I will return and it will be worth it.
As this project progresses I will be releasing more information. Thank you all for the support over the past year. It means the world to me.

Happy Late New Year everybody

Happy New Years everyone


Hey everyone sorry for the last month or so of absolutely nothing new. But there may be still another month of that because January is going to be hectic for me... I have my senior year mocks coming up and I've been preparing all for that. I didn't even have time to do that much photography while I was on holiday that's how much study I've been doing.
After mocks though I have a rather large project coming up with one of my closest friends and that will be something I'll share a little bit of when it starts happening.
Sorry for making everyone wait but I will return with new photos soon.

This photo was one from the New Years eve fireworks display in Sydney. Hope you like.

Getting into the groove

Basketball season has officially started and it is a lot more intense than Volleyball was. We have a new coach and it's during our mocks so I may not post for a month or two but I will return with more photos as I am going on holiday soon. But I have been able to record our basketball games and trainings and I'll try and share as much of the highlights as I can. Here is a cheeky move from me during one of our trainings.

TB Acamis














With Basketball season officially started today, I wanted to look back on the some of the highlights from our Volleyball Acamis. It was a very successful year for our school with the boys winning for the 7th year in a row and the girls ending in a hard worked 2nd place. I just wanted to thank everyone who supported us through out the season. And to next year's team, continue the streak... make it 8 guys. 
A huge thank you to my moo moo for taking the awesome guys photos :D

Living in a ger

































Just some of the better photos that I took while I was at righteous living this week. It really is amazing to see all of these face, and the stories they have behind it. As well as the fact that some of these people have come from a normal life and now have next to nothing. It really is amazing to see just how happy they are.

A Fall From Grace


Living in Mongolia gives me plenty of opportunities to take some amazing photos of some amazing people. This is a photo of one of the new families at righteous living, they use to be a normal family living and working the the city. The mother was an accountant and the father was and is an extremely gifted musician. Then all of that vanished from their lives because of alcohol. It just goes to show how important an organisation like this can be that they are going to be able to help this family get back on their feet, and move back into the normal life that once had.

Chinese tourists in China



Something that I noticed when I was in China is that the majority of the tourists are actually Chinese. And it made me realise just how lucky I really am. I'm 17 and been to 32 countries, while this older Chinese generation may have never left their hometown. Their idea of a holiday is going to see the rest of China. Just something I thought was interesting in my recent travels. Hope you guys agree

Family Day Out


Just a cute moment I saw while I was in China. In a very low light tunnel so definitely nothing amazing. But just something I thought was cute

One of the Most Magnificent Animals


As a kid growing up in Queensland, I was taught that the Black swan is only found in Australia, but over this Autumn break which was a little while ago now. I discovered these beautiful animals in China in the Panda reserve, when I asked the lady who was guiding us whether they were native or from Australia, she seemed convinced they were native to China. And if they are that's definitely amazing. 
I hope you guys like these photos.

Capturing the Moment


After a very successful volleyball tournament for both the boys and girls, the guys getting gold for the seventh year and the row and the girls just missing out after an extremely intense and hard fought finals. This was one of the images that I got that captured the intensity of the girls finals pretty well.
Hope you guys like

Traditional shopping street


On one of the last days of my China trip over Autumn break I went to the oldest shopping street in Chengdu. This place is just outside of one of the oldest temples and once was a very traditional shopping centre. But in recent years it has become very modernised with very modern shops and coffee houses like starbucks and places like that. But there are still a lot of little stands showing some of the more traditional goods that you can buy. 

I hope you guys like. I just came back from my 2nd China trip in 2 weeks. And we won our Volleyball tournament 7th year in a row. I'm extremely proud of my team and will show some of the highlights once I get a chance. Hope you guys enjoy.
