Hi, I’m Ale (they/them), a Seattle-based photographer and artistic director with a collaborative, storytelling-driven approach to visual media. Over the past two years, I’ve led club projects, directed editorial shoots, and built cohesive narratives that reflect my Puerto Rican and Latino heritage while elevating community voices. I’m continuing to grow my practice as I enter my third year of this work, focusing on thoughtful image-making, teaching, and creative collaboration. I love working with youth and in educational contexts, bridging creative direction and teaching. I’m currently exploring opportunities in photography, art direction, and design, with a strong emphasis on inclusive, emotionally resonant storytelling that shines a light on real people and experiences. I have worked as a BTS photographer for the creation of art performances under the artist Jacopo Benassi. I have also photographed club events, parties, and even birthdays. I have been working on my craft through many styles, but have been primarily connecting with the experiences of people in public spaces…Hi, I’m Ale (they/them), a Seattle-based photographer and artistic director with a collaborative, storytelling-driven approach to visual media.
