About Ollie

My journey with underwater photography really began when I started out on an dive instructor internship in Muscat, Oman. I finally upgraded my old GoPro 3 to a Canon G16 with a fantasea housing and I quickly fell in love with underwater photography.

I began teaching myself underwater photography, gaining more experience and taking my camera out at any opportunity I could. Over time I started to get more and more gear and eventually whilst working as an instructor in Timor-Leste, I decided to upgrade to a full frame system – Sony A7Riii with Nauticam housing and Sea & Sea Strobes.

I felt whilst in such an pristine location with such abundant opportunities for photography it would be the perfect place to really learn how to use a big camera setup. Since then, for almost the last 2 years, underwater photography has been my full time job working with different dive centres to provide photography services and as a freelancer with some images in various publications.
