“As a rule, I rise to a height of 1000–2000 feet,” says Alex. - There is no sense in climbing above, since then objects merge into a single whole, it becomes difficult to distinguish. All interesting stories can be found only at a small height. I like to shoot in winter when the earth is covered with snow. However, I do not rise into the air when visibility is less than 3 miles, which means that I can’t take photos of drills, snowstorms, storms-only their consequences. The key point for obtaining a successful picture is light. The best time for this is in the morning and in the evening, when the light is soft. I mainly remove from three different angles - with a horizon line in the frame, or without such, or just clearly down. ”
