← Me

Originally from Baltimore, I’ve been living in DC for the past five years.

About three years ago, I began carrying my camera around town; I was very interested in filmmaking at the time, and tasked myself with learning the basics of using a digital camera.

I quickly discovered the world of street and documentary photography, and I’ve been photographing the city and my life since.

I’m making this website in an effort to turn my passion into something more meaningful, both for myself and others.

A lot of my photos would be classified as street or documentary, but the candid nature of my work can be applied to so many different contexts: event coverage, personal shoots, protest, engagement, etc. Really anything.

If you’re interested in working with me, please contact me via email (left button below, or olivia.thomas.photog@gmail).
