In Austria, Ali began doing camerawork. He worked with many different organizations and NGOs in this time to capture their events. He also wrote, directed, and edited an award-winning short film called No Reason, which was accepted into 5 international film festivals. 

​

His goal is not just to take pictures and videos; he always wants to tell a story.

​

After 2 years of coordinating refugee work in Greece and Albania---and taking pictures and videos while doing so---he has now moved to the United States with his wife, Olivia. They live in Richmond, Virginia.

​

Ali has experience in photography and videography for weddings, conferences, interviews, advertisements, short films, model shoots, and individual/couples/family shoots. He would love to be involved in your next project.
