PHOTOGRAPHER & EDUCATOR

AMY OLIVER

As a fine art and documentary photographer, I explore a sense of place that is personal and fleeting. That place could be a taco truck, my living room, a swimming pool, or the view from an airplane. Originally from a small town on the coast of North Carolina, I now call Ventura, California home.
