Ali Mata

Hello, My name is Ali Mata, and I come from Plainfield,Wisconsin. I guess you can say that I have the cliche dream of \"small town boy, big city dreams\", but it works for me. I currently attend the Art Institute in Schaumburg,IL and it has helped shape me as a photographer. I come from a large family, and they all support my dreams 100%. I am the first in my family to go to college, and plan to work towards the fashion aspect of photography. My education will open many doors for me, but also for my family. If I make it, we all make it.
