Oli is an award-winning photographer and director.
When not documenting scientists in Antarctica or lecturing on creative thinking all around the globe, he’s directing music videos and photographing local artists in his home town of Melbourne, with a keen eye for the softer, story-driven moments that are often given less visibility against the more obvious.
Having cut his teeth covering acts from Dizzee Rascal to Josh Pyke, Oli more recently has been involved in producing music videos from homegrown talent crossing the Paper Kites to Briggs, and is part-way through a project exploring the polarity between the regular jobs worked by musicians who then morph into otherworldly characters across different genres.
Rock Academy is a school holiday music initiative for teenagers established in 2015. Currently staged in Melbourne and on the Mornington Peninsula, Rock Academy features established artists mentoring teenage musicians as they rehearse a cover song and write an original song to perform on a real rock stage.
