Thank you for taking the time to read this. I really would love the opportunity to create something special with you. — Oliver

 

I am looking for Gifted Collaborations to update my styling kit.

Below are examples from brands, current traffic, audience, and models I've worked with.

There is, of course, the opportunity here to work with me on campaigns, and I have included some information below as well. I am not asking for paid work. If you are interested in having me shoot your next campaign, please email me here, and we can schedule a time to get on a call.

My address for sending samples is at the bottom if that’s all you need!

I want to show you the value I provide. I know sending stuff for brands is a lot, knowing you may never see an ROI.

If you’re reading this, I have asked you because I love what you’re creating, value our relationship, and want transparency.

Everything you see here is unedited, on 35mm film, and my team consists of at most three people. Myself, an assistant, and sometimes an MUA. I spend lots of time in pre-production, creating decks to communicate to models, managers, and clients a clear value, plan, and execution. For two sample decks from previous shoots, you can view the PDFs here and here.

I do wardrobe pull each season from a variety of places. My shots are designed to be beautiful, but I love the story elements, and clothes, swimwear, sunscreen, skincare, drinks, baskets, chairs, and inflatables all help tell a story. Everything I put on this site is thought out.

Part of the problem is that you don’t know who I’ll shoot with. I plan to shoot this season with bigger talent, including Elise Faust, Emily Feld, Katya Petroff, Paris Stubberfield, and Sammy Allsop. I can’t make promises; what works for them is really down to the day, how they feel, what they like, etc. I work with the models to create something that feels right for them, so I try to have options!

Often, it is hard to understand how we photographers operate with models. I usually only get three days’ notice, based on who the agencies have free or if it’s a paid shoot; with the unpredictable nature of the weather, I can only plan one week out, as I always wait for sunshine.

If you are here, still reading, and interested, you might see how I look to create meaning through my work beyond just pushing for beautiful images with great talen… I want to create art, something more elevated than photos you forget. I want to create work that looks and feels timeless, draws you in, makes you want to print it, hang it on a wall, and feel something.

I want to do all that using the physical things you’ve created, and I want you to be a part of this process with me.

If you’re interested in paid shoots, skip to the end or view more about the rates and process here.

Last season I worked with (hyperlink if gallery is online):

I have built relationships with most modeling agencies in Australia, including Bella, Chadwicks, Chic, IMG, Kult, Que, Scoop, and Viviens. These agencies all have talent on my blog; I firmly believe in the relationships side and have points of contact at all of these.

I promise samples will lead to beautiful images tagged and tracked through my Instagram and on this website.
