Web3 as decentralized networks and decentralized finance(DEFI) are the future of the internet. Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are playing a bigger role each day, and not just in Art. A NFT is a digital asset that is unique and cannot be replaced, making it ideal for use in web3 applications. It can be used to represent ownership of digital items from music to concert tickets!
Ali is a founding member of the HK Web3 Association and has created & sold 28+ Digital Photography Collectibles. His work has been featured by Samsung, Adobe and Royal Geographical Society. His ‘Hong Kong Red’ collection was the first sold out collection of street photography shot entirely on mobile phones! Over the years, Ali has been a featured speaker at WOW summit and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His Artwork has been displayed at shows in Hong Kong, Times Square in New York, Rome and Bali!

HONG KONG RED BY ALI G
Hong Kong: a vibrant, dynamic, and fast-paced metropolis where East meets West. My love affair with this city started long before I even stepped foot on its soil!
My best friend, a Hong Kong descendant, would pass every summer of his teenage years here visiting family. Not only did he bring back amazing tales and images of food, technology and the city’s immaculate architecture, but he planted a seed that would bud years later as I looked to Asia for work.
This timeless collection of 1/1 photographs has taken 4 years to create, and it is my first NFT collection.
COLORS OF INDIA BY ALI G
My first trip to India was in 2012, and I was instantly enchanted.
The sounds, aromas, and colors all combined to create a sensory overload. My camera was in overdrive. It felt like Disneyland for a photographer. The most unforgettable feast for my lenses was the colors, from the back-streets to the main markets, including the people themselves and their colorful personalities.
