Tim Oliver photography

My name is Tim Oliver and I currently reside on the Nothern Beaches in Sydney, Australia.
I originally started out doing videos of friends surfing and body boarding in 2005, but after 3 years of video I found a new passion in photography.

Originally being from Forster on the Mid North Coast the beach was basically a second home to me which was the perfect place to take photos as I got to combine my two passions together. For the first year I mainly focused on seascapes and sunsets as they were the most accessible styles for me. In mid 2009 I started to branch out and do a little bit of portrait photography and shooting bands at local shows to mix things up but found my true calling when I started to shoot friends skating at the local skate park or surfing in the many beaches that populate Forster and surrounding towns.

In 2010 I packed my bags and relocated to the northern beaches in Sydney with my girlfriend. Conveniantly we were located only a few hundred metres from dee why beach. I took avantage of the location and was often down at the beach from early morning photographing the local surfers off the point or capturing the monster waves brought in by bad weather.

For the last two years I have focused on surf photography often spending hours at the beach waiting for the perfect shot, or standing on the sidelines at the beachley classics as a spectator photographing some of the worlds greatest female surfers.

Photography is my passion and I want to share the things I see through my lense with the rest of the world. ...read more
