ARTIST BIO

A San Francisco Bay Area native, Ali Torres has made a point to constantly surround herself with creative energies. Picking up a camera at an early age, she fell in love with photography, and more specifically, the portrait.  While still in college, she began to focus on creating strong, emotional connections in her photographs between the subject and the viewer. When she graduated with her degree in Photography she decided to take her art to Seattle.

In the Pacific Northwest her personal work shifted toward a focus on nature, experiencing the seasons, and soaking in the beautiful local landscapes. She often said that while living in Seattle she saw the most beautiful thing she had ever seen, every single day. Those years have filled her with the memory of shades of green, breathtaking views of mountain ranges, and misty morning walks through fallen leaves.

In 2010 she moved back to the Bay Area and started her focus on event photography. She was back amongst her beautifully creative community and her camera was permanently in her hand. Capturing the raw energy in a group of people became her new obsession. She took this time to develop the ability to catch the smallest moments of pure honesty in every person she meets.  

With the birth of her daughter in 2016, Ali’s work took a softer focus. Her heart has opened to a whole new world of beauty and life. She is currently living in the East Bay, raising her little girl, and teaching her how to truly see the world around her. Every day, Ali continues to live her dream of creating original and provocative photography for her friends and community.
