"Pressing the shutter has remained a moment of joyful recognition, comparable to the delight of a child balancing on tiptoe and suddenly, with a
small cry of delight, stretching out a hand toward a desired object.
Photography is essentially a personal matter - a search for inner truth.
Photography is a strange phenomenon... You trust your eye and cannot help but bare your soul."
I have just had the pleasure of looking through your portfolio for the first time. It won't be the last. There are some stunning images here. Truly inspirational.

I guess I don't have to really say it, but your work with the Lensbaby especially has been of great inspiration to me, and one of the reasons I decided to start using the lens. I shall return often to your PF :)

Well Ollie there are too many images for me to comment on since I haven't been on this site for ages. Suffice it to say there are some crackers in here, so please accept this as an overarching CLICK. Looking forward to a longer browse in your portfolio.
All the best

I've been meaning to set aside the time to have a good look at your profile for quite a while. And I'll have to look again in the office, since my grubby old laptop screen ruins a lot of your photos! :-)
You have a really strong body of work here and I look forward to seeing more of it.

Ollie,
what can you say?
You must be the most consistent, prolific photographer here!
I am always impressed with the way you can post so many really classy shots in such quick succession.
Your portrait work especially is just magnificent and truly something to be awed and inspired by.
Thanks for all the support too, it is truly appreciated!

I obviously see your work as it comes through daily, but just dropped by to have an overall look, following viewing the LB team pic. I love the variety and different approach to every subject. This is certainly a portfolio to inspire!

I keep coming back to your PF for inspiration and fresh ideas. You capture lifetimes in the faces of those you photograph. Thanks for sharing them.

Thank you for your Art, Ollie: in this world of beautiful girls,flowers, birds, and coloful landscales, you take B&W pictures of these, standing on the edge of their lives people to give them your love and attention.
Bow to the Master!

A really admirable portfolio Ollie... well done! When I started out a few months ago, I saw myself wanting to photograph elderly people's faces and hands. They are fantastic material for photography, particularly B&W. And now I see you do just that, and very, very well. I guess I won't be taking these kind of pics (for a while at least) but I'll be sure to return to your portfolio for the enjoyment it brings. Congratulations on some excellent work.

A PF brimming over with inspirational work, well deserving of all the praise it gets. Lots of favourites but I think "Sofa Surfers" just shades it. Thanks for your continued support.
Dave.
PS It was a real treat to meet up with you in Austria. Lots of chat, lots of photos and some Austrian beer to top it off.

Hi Ollie. You portfolio is really strong. What I like is that you master several styles but that it's all about that crazy being we individually and collectively are: humans/humanity. It's the love of humanity that shines trough. 'Have fun'is my favorite in your portfolio. Cheers, Bert

Hey Ollie, I'm pleased you do something different from the "norm" around here, really enjoy your work and learn a lot from observing. Your portraits are provocative and your montages superb (any handy montage hints? drop me a line!) Cheers, Julia

Hey Ollie, excellent collections of your pictures. I have never seen so many very good pictures taken by the Lensbaby and your portrait study of the people (at certain ages) is fantastic. Well done, mate.

Hi Ollie! One of the best when it comes to portraying people and life (in general). Your work is among the most interesting on epz, because of the variation, originality and what your pictures say. The quality seem to increase upload by upload ('jew's harp player, trumpeter' lately (wow)). Thanks for your support and comments on my work, much appriciated. Keep doing what you're doing, always a pleasure to drop by! Cheers!

Hello ollie. You honour me with your generous comments. You are a very skilled photographer. Your shots are simply so stylish and evocative. I love how you are so adept at capturing so much atmosphere in all your images. You should pursue this area of work. I already thought you were a Professional photographer; such is the quality of your work.
I notice you have a love for Single Malts. I don't drink anymore, but used to love them. "Highland Park 25 year old", "Lagavulin 43% 16 year old", "Bunnahabhain 12 year old", and the wonderful "Bruichladdich 10 year old". I loved them all. The more peaty, the better!
I wish you good health and happiness for the future. I am sure you will go far.
Best wishes,
Ken
