About Oliver

David Hockney. Anne Geddes. David Bailey. Andy Warhol. David Bowie. These photographers, artists, musicians and all around creatives are the people who have and continue to inspire me every day in my career as a professional photographer.

You’ve reached the LinkedIn profile of professional photographer, art lover and current affairs enthusiast Oliver Rawlings and if you want to glean an understanding of who I am and how I came to practice in professional photography then keep on reading.

I’ve had an interest in everything creative right from childhood. As I grew up and started to consider what I wanted to do with my life I started becoming entranced with the works of the great modern artists. Andy Warhol has held a particularly strong grip on my imagination and his clever take on modern pop culture inspired me to enroll in Art College.

Specialising in photography, my time at Art College was one of the best in my life. I spent that time learning about everything from the mechanics of photography; the cameras and equipment needed to take breathtaking pictures to the various styles and forms the discipline can take.

Once I graduated from Art College I quickly established a reputation as a freelance professional photographer.  This is the job of my dreams. Working as a professional photographer has given me the chance to travel the length and breadth of the globe, encountering different cultures and societies, learning about different people and being afforded the privilege to tell a thousand different stories with one snap of the camera. I’ve worked hard over the years to establish a reputation for professionalism and excellence.

Aside from my career I like to stay involved in what is happening across the world. It’s important to know what’s going on and how other people are living their lives and I like to keep track of current affairs. Apart from this I like to listen to music whenever I can, socialise, go dancing, read and write and just generally enrich my life any way I can.
