About Al


Al creates photographs which capture his subject’s with a feeling of authenticity and intimacy. He is best known for producing considered images which feel natural and immerse you in the story they tell. This aesthetic allows him to seamlessly adapt his shooting style to the situation, without losing his signature look. His broad range of clients reflect the appeal of his approach; ranging from commissions with Sky, HMV and ASOS.com through to being published by Glamour, The BBC and The Royal College of Art.

Al started his career as a forensic photographer, where he gained a solid technical background, before leaving to concentrate on editorial photography.

He was the first UK photographer to be exhibited in the renowned ‘London Miles Gallery‘. The Royal Photographic Society awarded him a place in their prestigious biennial showcase, and his work is regularly featured in photography magazines.

Based in London, Al enjoys travelling around the UK and internationally for commissions and holds a working visa for the United States.
