Yoichiro Yamashita said that he walked around Almaty city for two days searching for beautiful sights. He spent a whole day in the mountains and made more than 100 photographs that might become part of his next exhibition. "To make a good picture one shoot be very attentive and not rush. Finding the right composition is important. My photos are never polished, I don't ever use filters or Photoshop," the master said.

"Several people told me that I look like a Kazakh, they even started talking to me in Kazakh," he shared. Tengri-Umai gallery is located at #103 Panfilov Street at the crossing with Gogol Street.
