About the Artist

Ali Hasbach is a Portuguese--based photographer and visual artist who graduated with a dual master's degree in late 18th-century and early 19th-century poetry and the study of portraiture in England. She translated her passion for all things 'faces' into a dedicated portrait studio, photographing musicians and, in particular, guitar players. As a founder of the largest library of guitar lessons on the planet, this has given her work a channel for finding and celebrating the unique transaction between a sitter and a portraitist. When not shooting people, she loves to travel, using her camera to weave new images of distant shores, creating her own photographic textiles. In many ways, she has come full circle and stepped back into the world she once studied, but doing so in a modern way with a fresh interpretation. You can find her work online, in galleries, and on myriad album covers around the globe.
