Experience:
Hi, I'm an artist first and foremost, and do lots of painting - especially big murals and trompe l'oeil, and I love drawing too, and have sold many pieces of art around the world. Over the past five or six years I have also been using a camera a lot too and have been working on an epic swimwear project. I'm not entirely sure why the focus is on swimwear, but its just the way it going, so I'm going with the flow. I studied art and design at Dudley College, and then later at the Kent Institute of Art & Design at Maidstone in Kent (now part of the University for the Creative Arts). I've lived and worked in London for a while, where I worked alongside a very well-know American celebrity photographer and producer on one of his projects. I've also worked with some well known entrepreneurs on projects, and I've dabbled at being an author (I have one novel published - that I was commissioned to write). Over the last few years I've self-published a few books, experimented with running a few websites, and I currently take commissions from collectors and sell digital photo sets and prints - but the most important thing to me is just to keep creating.

Comments:
I've also lived in the Arizona desert and spent a lot of time in Brighton, but now I'm back near my roots in the Midlands. I am always off exploring and know lots of great locations for shoots, from old gritty urban dereliction to beautiful forests and valleys. My equipment is old and basic, and I don't claim to be a great technical photographer at all. I use my camera as I would a paintbrush or pen, and passion is what drives my creativity. As such my shoots are usually a lot of fun and very different! “Find the thing you want to do most intensely, make sure that’s it, and do it with all your might. If you live, well and good. If you die, well and good. Your purpose is done” - H.G. Wells

Had my first shoot with Oli, he was very organised, arrived on time, perfect gentleman, great to chat to, and a great photographer. I enjoyed working with him, and will be happy to shoot with him again.

So I turned upto location, waiting for Oli, he turned up claiming he had no idea what we were going to do.. And I knew from that moment we were going to get on..
Oli is a great guy, brilliant photographer, gives direction so well.
I had so much fun on the shoot we must have taken so many photos!
I really hope we work together again.
Lots of Love
