Director of Image Production
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!

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.

While clearly in an elite storm-chasing vehicle, a few close calls and a newborn daughter quelled that urge for adrenaline. Michael began to expand his portfolio shooting weddings, events, portraits, real estate and lots and lots and lots of baby photos. In the summer of 2015 he began working with Virtuance as it slowly began gaining a foothold in the Phoenix Arizona market. After several years of working in the field as a partner-photographer he’ll transition to a more operational role in an effort to apply the knowledge learned in the field into furthering a positive environment and experience for Virtuance’s clients, partners and team members.
