Caspian shores

Flying high above the shoreline of the Caspian sea and the south-western Aqtau region of Kazakhstan. And far above and beyond reach of my airplane, an island in the sky: the moon.

About Artist

Christiaan Van Heijst

Born and raised in The Netherlands in 1983, I was fascinated by natural light in all its forms since a young age. Now working as a pilot, flying all over the world, I always have my camera with me to immortalize the world around me, be it from the cockpit or at destinations that I am fortunate to visit. Capturing moments that have never been seen before and will never be seen again with eye for light, composition and mood.
