I work as a flight engineer on an airliner and have visited many countries. I’m also an amateur photographer, and I love capturing unique natural landscapes. When I saw Konstantin’s photos of the Altyn-Emel National Park, I knew that both I and my camera had to see those views.

The reality exceeded my expectations! Everything looks even more epic in person, and you truly feel like an astronaut on another planet. I also managed to capture some great shots of the night sky because the stars in the desert were absolutely stunning.

Konstantin is a very open and friendly person. He was eager to learn about night-sky photography, and I, in turn, learned from him how to find a tarantula spider at night. It was a very fascinating tour!
