Ali joined LIP in September 2017 to rekindle his passion for photography and to learn from the more experienced LIP members, memorable moments for him on his journey so far being:
Since September 2019 Ali has been posting a ‘Photo a Day’ on his Instagram Stories - follow this journey on @AMJ _ _ 1975
Supported yin yoga practitioner Norman Blair with commissioned photographs for his news letters and website throughout Lockdown 2020/21
Working with Open Ealing, pieces that Ali has exhibited in all previous LIP BEAT exhibitions have been sold and all proceeds have benefited local charity befriend
Since the fabulous renovation of Pitzhanger Manor Ali has been fortunate to show his photography in their 2021 ‘This is Ealing’ exhibition (to have exhibited in the same gallery space as also used by Anish Kapoor is a dream come true)
Ealing Council used photographs from Ali’s portfolio to market the Summer Festivals 2023 on their social media and print and on Around Ealing .
High point of LIP membership for Ali was having his photograph chosen for the cover of the FLIP magazine ‘Wild’ edition - and the many photographs of that cover shared on Instagram from around the world (as the magazine was distributed during lockdown)
In other projects Ali has volunteered with Mary's living and giving shops to advise on and administer their Instagram account’
