Cheshire based - and mostly resident. I am interested in many different aspects of photography and make a modest living from people and events work but my main interest now is the pursuit of a documentary and archival approach to photography - and often with an inevitable artistic motive or affect.
I have never owned a car or a driving licence so all of my work (locations) are reached (mostly) by cycling from my home on the outskirts of Macclesfield. I cycle over one thousand miles a year on my basic vintage but well maintained Muddy Fox MTB "Foxy Lady". I also enjoy combining my cycling with train travel when moving further afield. I find that there is so much of interest around me that travelling great distances to achieve a particular photographic objective is rarely necessary - though I would like to do a little more work in a coastal setting. I am lucky to live in such an interesting and environmentally diverse corner of the country.

Ollie knows what he's doing. His photographs have a certain quality which transcends their subject matter, they just work - whatever they are! I'm not a writer, so this is going to get cut short. I'll wind up by saying something like this; Ollie might not have a load of perfect skies and Explore style colours, nor is he a comment chaser or self-promoter extrodinaire, he takes his photographs quietly, and then without fuss adds them to a few select high quality groups. Then he takes some more. I always get excited to see what he's produced when his shots turn up in my contact's latest photos.
