I’m Ace von Alling, an internationally published photographer based in northeast Nebraska. For more than twenty years I’ve built a body of work around the figure — creating images that often feel closer to paintings than photographs.

I started in New York’s fashion industry, where I learned precision, discipline, and how to deliver under pressure. I still get called back into that world when someone needs an experienced hand. But the business moves fast and forgets even faster. My focus now is on the few who want more than a passing image.

My current work combines studio photography, 3D design & rendering, and digital painting to create contemporary interpretations of nineteenth-century traditions. Pieces have hung in galleries and private collections, but more important is what they do for the people in them: they turn presence into permanence.
