I’m Thomas Olsen, a passionate photographer with over 30 years of experience capturing the beauty and essence of life through my lens. Based in South Yarra, Victoria, I specialise in three distinct areas of photography: pets, commercial projects, and lifestyle. My Journey: Growing up in Collingwood, Victoria, I was immersed in a world of creativity from a young age. Accompanying my mother, an accomplished artist, and my father, an industrial designer who was a member of the influential Melbourne Group M, I was surrounded by artistic inspiration and innovation. The Melbourne Group M was known for its pioneering approach to photography, and my father’s involvement provided me with early exposure to groundbreaking techniques and concepts in the visual arts. This rich artistic environment shaped my perspective and ignited my passion for photography. My journey has taken me from local shoots in South Yarra to global adventures, always with the goal of creating images that resonate deeply and authentically. My Philosophy: Every photograph is a reflection of a moment in time, a story told through light, composition, and emotion. My work is driven by a desire to connect with my subjects and convey their unique narratives with authenticity and artistry. Whether working on a local pet session or a global lifestyle shoot, I bring a warm, creative flair to every project.
