More about Ali A....
What do you love about your job?
As a freelance photographer, what I love most about my job is the opportunity to capture and create beautiful, meaningful images that can make a real difference in people's lives. Whether I am photographing a wedding, an event, or a portrait session, I have the privilege of being a part of some of the most significant moments in my clients' lives.
I also love the creative freedom that comes with being a freelance photographer. I have the ability to choose the projects I work on, the clients I collaborate with, and the artistic direction of each shoot. It allows me to express my creativity, experiment with new techniques and styles, and continually evolve as a photographer.
Moreover, I enjoy the diverse range of experiences that my job brings. Every day is different, and I never know what new challenges or opportunities will come my way. It keeps me on my toes, encourages me to stay adaptable and resourceful, and allows me to keep learning and growing.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have done a lot of portraits with some solos, some couples and some families. I always like to incorporate things into pictures that hold meaning to the person. For e.g. for a graduation photoshoot, finding places where they spent the most amount of time while at school, and using those settings as a backdrop for some pictures.
A fun fact about this photographer
I just ran my first half marathon in Feb 2023 having never ran before. Learned a lot of lessons along the way but a great experience overall. Marathon is next.
