Inspiration and talent derive from all people and places and Andrea Olivo is no exception. The now Milan-based photographer got his start in photography at a young age. “The light, colors and landscape in South Africa, where I grew up, make it very hard not to be a visual person. My first memory of actually making a set and taking pictures was when I found my dad’s ricoh in a drawer and took pictures of my brother lying on a table which I had managed to stack on top of the living room couch…. I was eight or nine.”
Having taken a small hiatus from photography from that point on, Andrea then rediscovered his love and knack for taking photographs at around nineteen and from then on, never looked back.
Andrea’s inspiration has only continued to evolve as he himself continues to grow as a photographer, “I take my inspiration from all over, stories, books, movies, music. Anything that strikes me could become part of an image. Suppressed memories and dreams often work their ways into the images or serve as starting points for stories.”
