About me
Ali Alhalwachi
Sports Photographer
Bahrain Olympic Committee Photographer
Getty Images Contributing Photographer
I began my career in sports photography in 2005. Since then, I have sought to create images that tell the stories of competition and preserve the moments that shape sporting history. Through my lens, I look for the power of movement, the anticipation of a decisive moment, and the emotions that reveal an athlete’s journey towards achievement.
Over more than two decades, I have photographed a wide range of sports and covered three Olympic Games and four Asian Games, alongside numerous international and regional championships. These experiences have shaped my visual perspective and strengthened my ability to anticipate the action and capture it from different angles.
Alongside my work as a photographer for the Bahrain Olympic Committee, I served as Photo Manager for the Bahrain 2025 Asian Youth Games and as photographer to the AFC President during the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019. In September 2026, I joined Getty Images as a contributing photographer.
This portfolio presents a selection of my work, reflecting my experience and approach to sports photography through moments of competition, the emotion of achievement, and the human stories behind them.
