Oliver's interest in photography flourished at school where he won numerous prizes and worked on inhouse publications as a photographer and editor.

A year's travel in China and other trips in recent years to Brazil and Morocco gave him the chance to work on his landscape and travel photography. He has further trips planned to Tanzania and India.

Oliver has done freelance work for the Sunday Times, and has had work published in The Telegraph, The Times, The Mirror, The News of the World and Magic of the Orient travel brochures. He is also an experienced theatre photographer and has done production stills on several film sets.
