THE MAN BEHIND THE LENS

  • “Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies.”

the

ADVENTURER

“The journey matters more than the destination.” …

 

 

Oliver joined our team in 2021.

 

He has a passion for all things creative.  When he isn’t behind a camera he is driving his VW campervan around the world exploring beaches and other cultures.  He is an avid musician and plays regularly throughout the North West with his band Scarfoot.
