Edward Olive is a Madrid-based photographer specializing in fine art, wedding, portrait, and commercial photography. A self-taught artist, he began his career in photography in 2005 after a significant change from his previous profession as a commercial litigation lawyer in London and Paris.
His work is characterized by a distinctive, authentic style. He frequently uses hand-developed expired films and vintage analog cameras to create his images, and personally makes black and white silver gelatin and C-type color prints in a darkroom. He is known for not using AI filters or heavy retouching, focusing instead on capturing natural beauty and a genuine aesthetic.
Edward's portfolio is diverse, spanning from fine art female nudes and erotica to fashion and wedding photography. His work has been featured in magazines and newspapers and has been used for book and music album covers. He also works as an actor, voice actor, and coach, and offers services for corporate and social events. He is noted for his collaborations with other artists in Madrid, including models, makeup artists, and stylists.
