Ollie came to Virtuance all the way from Cambridge, UK, and has worked in a wide range of roles within the photographic industry along the way. Luxury fashion marketing, professional camera equipment sales, retouching royal portraits, lighting studio design, and a good few others in between! It's given him the chance to work out which part of photography he loves the most, and it’s safe to say that post-production comes out on top. There’s nowhere he’d rather be using those skills than here in Virtuance's Image Production Department! Photography and retouching are certainly Ollie‘s favorite pastimes, but somewhere along the lines he still makes time for the other important things in life; hiking, reading, relaxing on the beach, and spending hours in the kitchen trying to expand his culinary repertoire.
