Episode 40 - Quintavius Oliver Interview

Archipelago Photography Podcast

Quintavius Oliver is an Atlanta based fine art and documentary photographer who uses his engaging portraits as a means of self exploration and sensitive storytelling. He acquired his first camera at the age of six from his grandmother and immediately began to document his ever expanding world without a second thought. Completely self-taught and ready to take on the world with his camera while raising his daughter as a single father, Quintavius spent much of his twenties documenting community uprisings against police brutality towards Black Americans and exploring his own generational traumas as a young black man through his lens. Occasionally, he would get a break to travel to places like India or Cuba to explore and experience places that he was told he would never live long enough to see because of the stereotypes that surround young black men. Now, still with a camera in hand, Quintavius has made it his mission to see and photograph people honestly and wholly as he creates a safe space for self-expression and vulnerability through his passion for photography.
