Kazakhstan’s Mountains From Above: Almaty Photographer Shares Aerial Photography Experience
Almaty-based photographer Dmitry Dotsenko said that during his frequent flights across Kazakhstan, he tries to use every trip as an opportunity to capture aerial images of mountains and natural landscapes.
My profession as a photographer involves constant travel across the country, and I often have to fly by plane. To avoid wasting time, I try to shoot even during flights," he said.
According to Dotsenko, choosing the right seat in advance is essential for getting a good shot. "If the plane is flying east from Almaty, it is better to sit on the right side; if it is flying west, choose the left side so the mountains are visible in the frame," the photographer explained.
He also recommends selecting seats in the front section of the cabin or at the rear, where turbulence has less impact and the wing does not obstruct the view. Before takeoff, Dotsenko always cleans the airplane window using optical wipes.
For aerial photography, he uses a camera with zoom lenses and a rubber lens hood to reduce glare from the glass. "The window inevitably affects image quality, so it is important to shoot at a 90-degree angle to the glass," he noted.
The photographer admitted that aerial shooting makes it possible to capture unique views of Khan Tengri, Jengish Chokusu and Ismoil Somoni Peak.
Sometimes these views simply take your breath away," Dotsenko said.

Tulips, warmth, and greenery: spring arrives in southern Kazakhstan
Almaty-based photographer Dmitry Dotsenko shared a series of images capturing the atmosphere of spring in southern regions of Kazakhstan.
According to him, the country’s natural contrasts are especially noticeable at this time of year: "Kazakhstan is so vast that seasons live their own lives here - in the north you can still find snow, in central regions it has already melted, while in the south spring is in full swing, sometimes almost turning into summer."
The photographer noted that temperatures in Shymkent have already reached +30°C, city flowerbeds are filled with tulips, and trees are covered in fresh greenery.
Bees are busy with their important work from morning till evening - everything around is literally coming to life," he said.
Dotsenko also managed to capture the growing moon, which, in his view, symbolically echoes the arrival of spring.
The moon is gaining strength now, preparing for the April full moon… and there’s something special about it - as if spring itself is growing along with it," he added.
The photographer wished everyone warmth and a truly spring-like mood.
