Call it inevitable… true to the saying “like father like son”, Ali Zainal developed his inherited passion for photography early in life, following his father’s footsteps.

Ali has always had a keen eye for pictorial objects and persons and an intensecuriosity to capture such images on camera! Ali started capturing still life approximately 5 years ago with his conventional Olympus OM-2. However, the process of developing film in hopes of capturing the perfect moment proved both to becostly and inefficient.

Ali entered the world of digital photography in April of 2007, via the Nikon D80, his first DSLR. Having acquired eagerness for shooting sport photography, he immediately joined the Bahrain International Circuit Media Club – "BICMC". This exposure allowed him to explore his capacity further with landscape and macro shooting, as well as portraits.

He has also been an active photographer for the ‘Australian Supercars Race’, held in Bahrain in 2007, as well as the ‘Bahrain F1 Grand Prix’ in 2008. In addition to attending these venues for growth of photography experience, Ali managed to enjoy numerous drag race sessions and some local races in the 2007-2008 season! The event proved to be an outstanding and valuable experience for him.
