The most hospitable people I’ve ever met live in Iran.

A place of culture, beauty, and deep humanity.

It hurts to see it under attack.

Praying for you, Iran 🇮🇷 🤲

Who doesn’t love monkeys?

Swayambhunath had the vibe, flags overhead, bells in the distance, monkeys doing their thing.

A quiet morning at Bouddhanath, one of the largest stupas in the world and a place of deep devotion.
People moved slowly in prayer, the air thick with incense and intention.
Of all the places I visited, this one stayed with me the most.

Hey, I’m Ali.

I picked up a camera over a decade ago while traveling, drawn to the quiet beauty in faces, landscapes, and fleeting moments. Strangers became friends. Their stories stayed with me. Capturing those stories became second nature. That’s where it all began, and that’s where I’m returning.

This page is now home to the kind of work that fills my lungs: travel, mountains, the outdoors… and sometimes, pictures of Saskatoon.

If you’re looking for client work like portraits, commercial projects, or headshots and non-travel related video work that now lives over at

And if you’re in the city, studio bookings will open soon at ✨

Thanks for being here.

I’m building something slower, deeper, and more intentional.

I made a huge mistake climbing this mountain.
Now I want more.

Imje Tse (Island Peak)
6,189 m / 20,305 ft

We left basecamp just after midnight.

Mingma and I never really slept. We just rested, ate what we could, and got our gear ready in the cold. Headlamps on, harnesses checked. It was a four-hour walk in the dark to crampon point.

It was not easy. The altitude hit hard. My body was exhausted. But I really wanted to stand on top of this mountain.

By morning, I was there — on the highest peak I have ever climbed. Tired, emotional, fully present. And honestly, happy.

A huge thank you to Mingma Sherpa. I could not have made this climb without him. He has summited Everest 17 times. I honestly could not have asked for a better guide.

This year, I will be taking mountaineering courses to train more seriously and get into the best shape of my life.

Ama Dablam in the next three years?

Doable 😂

Mount Kilimanjaro is next.

Back in Nepal.

Last week, I made an impulsive decision, one I wasn’t sure would make sense. I didn’t know if my clients would be okay with rescheduling, or if I could realistically take a month away from my day job and business. But after 2.5 years of persistent burnout, I realized something had to change.

I haven’t felt like myself for a while. Despite the incredible creative work I was fortunate to do last year, there was a disconnect. Not from the projects themselves, but from my own presence within them.

I needed time. To pause. To reflect. To ask myself honestly: where am I going, both creatively and personally? And more importantly, what kind of life do I want to create, if not one constantly running on empty? What type of growth do I want to have going forward?

I considered a few places, Indonesia, the Philippines, even a quick Southeast Asia trip, but none felt right. Then I thought: maybe the mountains. Maybe the Himalayas. No, should I? And yes I should.

I checked the ticket price. And I booked it.

Just after landing, a passport ID page ripped in half right before border control. I was told I might be deported within 24 hours. But I was so shocked and I actually believe they would deport me. It became really real within a few hours. I did stay fairly calm, advocated for myself, and asked for time until the Canadian consulate opened. I am just happy it really worked out. I would have been very disheartened if I had to fly back to Canada.

Nepal holds deep meaning for me, it’s where I first discovered my passion for photography back in 2013. And I came here hoping to reconnect with that passion and myself.

Today was my first full day in Kathmandu. I have zero expectations for these photos, but I do want to create for myself. To connect with people through my camera and really observe life as it unfolds here. There was joy in that — the kind that comes from simply being present.

I’m not sure where this trip will take me. But for the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m coming home to myself. I know it may sound dramatic, but it feels damn good.
