Awarded 'Digital Portrait Photographer of the Year' by Digital Photographer Magazine in 2011, Bahraini photographer Ali Sharaf captures fashion through his lens and creates stories with every click. His photos, which revolve around lifestyle advertising and editorials, can be easily spotted around the streets of Bahrain.  

With clients across the Arabian Gulf, Ali’s current dream is to expand internationally and reach high-end publications. "What I love about fashion is that it keeps changing. And that fast pace pushes me to improve and adapt new techniques in order to catch up," he says. He also hopes to take photography in Bahrain to a higher level by combining Bahraini culture with others to produce something quite unique.  

Ali studied photography in Manchester in 2008. “From someone who didn't know too much about lighting and fashion, he has developed into a top fashion photographer pushing his limits at every shoot," Brett Harkness, fashion and social photographer, UK.
