About this photo
I took this high-key photograph of Almaz at the first-ever OYU Festival in Astana, 2024. It was during Askhat’s (Shiza) performance when Almaz and Aisultan suddenly ran onto the stage. Without hesitation, I climbed onto one of the speakers on the ground to match Almaz’s level and captured this moment. I love how the smoke and bright lighting create a dramatic, almost surreal effect, making the image feel cinematic. The high-key style adds to the intensity, and what makes me even happier is how it reminds me of the Metro Boomin: Not All Heroes Wear Capes album cover. Even though Almaz wasn’t performing, just hosting, his energy in this moment was just as powerful as any artist on that stage.
Produced only one signed edition of this photograph as a birthday gift for Almaz, making it a truly unique and one-of-a-kind keepsake.

About this photo
I took this photo of Almat during our small trip to Qapsagai in 2024. The day before, we had decided to shoot a music snippet for Sultan (Suliko), and Kapchagai felt like the perfect location since we had already been there earlier that week with Almat. While filming the video, I took a moment to capture Almat in his creative process.
I rarely take photos of Almat, even though we’ve known each other for a long time. That’s why this image brings me so much joy—it reminds me of the early days when we first met. The black-and-white style enhances the mood, with the depth, horizon, and gentle waves in the background adding to the composition. It’s a simple yet meaningful moment that perfectly reflects both the setting and the energy of our work together.
This special signed print was created as a birthday gift for Almat, who has played a pivotal role in shaping my future. His immense contribution makes this print not only a rare and meaningful memento but also a tribute to gratitude and artistic growth.

About this photo
I captured this film photo in 2022, featuring members of Pater123—musicians and staff—at our music concert, set against the scenic mountain backdrop of Almaty. While not all contributors are visible, each played a crucial role in bringing this remarkable event to life.
From left to right, we can see some of the members: Beka, Gaziz, Almat, Nurbek, Sultan, and Duman. What I love about this shot is its out-of-focus nature—it reflects the rush we were in. I had to snap the photo quickly, and this unintentional blur now serves as a perfect reminder of the energy and spontaneity of that moment.
Looking at this image, I see more than just a group of people; I see a snapshot of dedication, teamwork, and the passion that fuels creative projects. The slightly tilted composition and soft focus make it feel almost like a memory in motion—imperfect yet full of life. It’s the kind of photo that doesn’t just show what happened, but how it felt to be there.
This unique signed print was gifted to the main creator of Pater123, Almat, as a birthday tribute—recognizing his dedication and immense contributions to our collective journey.
