Hi! Lovely to meet you.

I’m Ali, and I’m a portrait and product photography specialist with twelve years experience as a professional photographer.

My mission as a photographer is to create portraits in which genuine personality shines through, product shots which engage and trigger emotion, and when time allows, create soulful and meaningful art through photography. My visual style is rich in colour, modest in contrast and with a strong attention to detail in composition and styling. I love working on concepts to suit an individual brand and I am thrilled to have won awards for my images.

Whether a portrait, product or brand shoot, I work in consultation with you to understand your requirements and your market, I offer advice on how we can create the best collection of images according to your objectives, and we set a date and appropriate shoot location. With gentle direction along with the way and with the right balance of soft studio lighting or natural light, we set the scene to create and capture the right look for you, all in a relaxed and enjoyable way.

Photography runs in my family’s genes - one of my cousins is a photo journalist, my uncle is a fashion photographer and another cousin is a landscape/big-five wildlife photographer - and has always been a constant thread through my life. When living in Japan, it was a joy to photograph the temples of Kyoto and the rich colours of the acers in the autumn; during the time of the Kobe earthquake, I took a trip to the epicentre and photographed the buildings there. In the Philippines, I photographed the underwater creatures around the island of Boracay. My inspiration to pursue a career in photography came from a school friend - he shot our wedding in Yorkshire and creates the most beautiful wedding photography I have ever seen. What he did for us almost 20 years ago moved me so much, that I decided to retrain and gradually pivot my corporate career to a new career in photography - to be able to give the same delight through visual images to others.

Born in York and raised in the spa town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, I have lived and worked in Germany, France and South East Asia. I now live in the beautiful Goudhurst countryside near Tunbridge Wells in West Kent with my husband, our two boys and our lively cocker spaniel. As well as photography, my other huge passions are swimming, woodland walks, travel, and good coffee.

It would be very lovely to hear from you.

Ali xx
