mark ali / photographs - Fine art photography - nature, still life, and other genres

I live near the great city of Pittsburgh, PA. Like most people, I started creating photographs at a young age - with a simple point-and-shoot camera, on vacations, or just for fun.

The science of photography began to interest me later while taking a "visual communications" class in junior high school. I got to use a dark room, and I was exposed (no pun intended) to the chemical process involved in developing film. Cool stuff.

The artistic aspects of photography dawned on me a few years later, while working on a high school project for which we were loaned a 35mm film camera and simply told to make some interesting photos that told a story. I created some images of abandoned mills in my area, telling the story of a bygone era through the structures that were left behind.

As I got older, and digital photography took over the industry, image-making became easier. At the same time, I also realized that there's room to embrace both the scientific and the artistic components of photography while creating interesting images. My wife recognized my love of photography, and encouraged me to pursue it.

This website is the culmination of my photographic pursuits. It represents my full portfolio of photographs, presented in several galleries, for your viewing enjoyment. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or requests.

Thanks for stopping by!
