At the end of 2000, he began working as station manager in Athens for Turkish Airlines. He has also continued his Turkey project. During this time, Alper had his photograph exhibitions “Turkey from above” in Athens, Warsaw, Cape Town, London, Sao Paulo, Beijing, Duisburg, Toulouse, Aussillon and Paris.
Alper has worked with many magazines including Gezi-Traveller, Gourmet and Ulusoy Travelers. Since 1999, he has worked with Greek magazines such as Cosmos Travel and National Geographic. He also began displaying his works in Turkish and Polish National Geographic magazines. He has published three books “Turkey from 1000 feet”, “Dreamscape Turkey” and “4 Seasons Istanbul”. Currently, Alper continues his work on four photographic projects and two documentaries about Turkey with his group in South Africa and Turkey.
