Imagine starting on a project and thinking you would only do it for a specific time. As soon as you know it, the project turned into a daily practice that lasted 4,000 days and counting. In the nearly 10+ years of taking daily photos, there are a few things about photography to learn: the experiences, the new knowledge, the hardships, and the overall joy of having your life documented by you.
About The Presenter
My name is Oliver! Nice to meet you.
I am Award Winning Photographer & Filmmaker from San Diego, CA. I grew up in a Navy family. For most of my life, I moved around the Pacific before my family settled in San Diego. Travel is and will always be an essential part of my life.
When I’m not traveling or taking photographs, I work as a civil engineer for the California Department of Transportation. Photography started as a hobby for me. It was not until I got into college that I took the hobby seriously, and it was then that I got my first gig as a photographer. I got an opportunity to photograph my friend’s wedding. However, I have never shot a wedding before, so I had to learn quickly. And I learned by doing. I found a couple on Craigslist. After a quick interview and confirmation of dates and times, I photographed my first wedding and was hooked. I have never looked back.
Over the years, photography has given me many opportunities and experiences that I could never have imagined. I have competed in Adobe Creative Jam, winning the judge’s and people’s choice awards for mobile photography. I have competed and won several times with the Professional Photographers of San Diego County monthly image competitions. I have also been a Photography Judge at the San Diego County Fair for several years. With photography, I have also been able to photograph events such as the Long Beach Grand Prix, the Miramar Airshow, Hugh O’Brian Leadership (HOBY) and others. I am also working on a published book of photography work.
