I also share with my informative articles about the photo I'm taking and I am very glad that they are readable.

Axar.az reports that the travel photographer, Ali Akbar shares his feelings about taking photos.

- When and how did you want to become a photographer?

- It may be banal but it's my childhood dream. I used colourless type of Smena camera from length to width. Even though the photos were low quality, it was enough to show my friends in school and feel proud of myself. After social networks created, I shared my photos on pages that were only for my friends. . I began to expand their coverage and shared them in different photo pages which I created on social networks because, beside me other people also started to like my photos. I also share my informative articles about my photos and I'm very happy that they are attentative too.

- Which camera do you use to capture all of these beauties so lively?

- Sometimes I hear this type of questions from those who are interested in doing photography questions too: Which camera is recommended, SONY or Canon or others? In my opinion, it does not depend on the model of the camera all about is to feeling the frame. Really good photos should differ from others, even with small detail. Sometimes people who went to trips frequently stick to something and see what I was doing and wonder why I did not join them and did not start my camera. Yes, the scenery is beautiful. But it does not differ from the other similar scenes. It's also difficult to understand that causing interest with such a cadre. On the other hand, it often happens that when you look at the scenery, it is beautiful, but you know it is beautiful, but it's an ordinary look in the photo. The expensive camera is not an interesting photo yet.

As for me, I first used the SONY, which came with digital cameras for 35 dollars, and later used the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS. I'm currently the Canon EOS 5D Mark III.

- As it's seen from your photos that, mostly you choose Uganda to get pictures. Why Uganda?

- The country that i most visited in Africa is Tanzania. Since my last trip was to Uganda, most of my new photos are from this country.

- Are you experiencing stress and anxiety when taking photo of wild animals? How do you get this courage to take the photo with them?

- Exactly no. Because before I leave my destination, I already know what happens and what happens during the journey - I find it difficult to do, not stress or fears. Actually, I do not generally think about courage at this moment. In my opinion, a person who loves wildlife should not accept it as heroism and does not. This is something that personally enjoys for me. If I'm attracted to someone, it's a double pleasure for me. My trips for me are also considered successful when I return with plenty of photos which pleasured for me.

- What are your favorite photos and what is not your favorite photos?

- Like all photographers, I have my successful and unsuccessful photos, of course. What I have considered unsuccessful is that you can take some moments into the next photos.

There are also some of my favorite pictures amongst what I'm taking. The zebra family I've taken in the Tarangire National Park in Tanzania is the most favorite photo for me.

- What was the most memorable episode you could ever have when taking these beauties?

- There are many countries which I traveled to Europe, America, Near East, Middle East and so on. But most of my favorite place is in Africa. I say sincerely: Every minute of what happens around me when I get off the plane while on my way to Africa is interesting to me. For the first time, I saw wildlife I was dreaming of a childhood. The hunting of the lions and the zebras, the footsteps of the rhinoceros, the chances of visiting various tribes, the laughter of the wearers, and the other situations was given to me by Africa.

Hopefully, my Africa trip which will happen in September is not the last trip.

- As we can see from your photos, you are in Uganda for a long time. Do you have any help from any country that has long been on the territory of the mentioned country? How long would you be able to stay there?

- I do not stay for a long time, I stay a maximum of 2 weeks. Because photography is my hobby, I work in a different sphere. Of course, I spent the money myself. It's just recreation for myself and of course, I have to pay for myself. I solve the problem of visa issues in the same way as it is, by applying to embassies. Sometimes this process makes the online visa easier, but, unfortunately, there is no online option to get a visa for each country, and in some countries (for example, Kenya), even if it is possible to get online visas, it is not for the citizens of Azerbaijan, visa required.

- You have a share in your profile about the national geography editor likes your sunset photo. Do you participate in international photo competitions?

- Sometimes I send my photos to international photography competitions for participation. But I'm not constantly looking for it, so it's purposefully not done by me.

- Do you have any cooperation with any media? Are you earning money from your photos?

- I have no permanent cooperation with the media. I have signed a contract for photography within the United Nations Development Program.​
