Aerial view of boats in musilage (gluey substance produced by excessive sea microorganisms) at the Marmara Sea coast of Istanbul remind me of marbled artwork. I shot this photograph while flying in my paramotor for my Flying Detective program on Gain TV.
Coming from a family of artists, Ali Kabas’s love of the visual arts and photography began at his early age. Receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and an MBA degree from Columbia University, Kabas has chosen photography as his profession.
He focuses on corporate, aerial, advertising, travel, underwater and fine art photography. Based in Istanbul, Kabas is an expert in the latest digital photography and video technologies. He enjoys teaching photography and leads workshops.
Ali Kabas’s fine art photography was featured in his personal exhibitions: “DreamWorld” 2002, “Mound-Silent Villages” 2005, “Recto-Verso” 2006, “High Angle” 2008, “Third Eye” 2012 at PG Art Gallery in Istanbul, and “A Celebration of Istanbul” 2005 at the St. Regis Hotel and the Turkish Culture and Tourism Office in New York.
He has served numerous times as a jury member in the Turkish Underwater Sports Federation underwater imaging competitions.
When he’s not shooting in his studio or working on location, Kabas either flies his paramotor or goes scuba diving.
