Quintavius Oliver
Atlanta, GA, b. 1989
Quintavius Oliver's interest in photography began at age six, when his grandmother gifted him his first camera. His passion became a career and he never looked back. By his mid-20s, the self-taught photographer was making waves in the photography community, landing exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Atlanta and the Griffin Museum of Contemporary Art in Winchester, MA-all while raising a daughter as a full-time single father.
Oliver uses his engaging portraits as a means of self-exploration and dynamic storytelling. The Atlanta-based photographer photographs people honestly and wholly, creating a safe-space for self-expression and vulnerability.
His work has recently been acquired for the permanent collection of The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas.
