Olivia Lam (Liv Photography)

Photography – Brisbane

My name\'s Olivia and I\'m a freelance photographer, graphic designer and retoucher from Brisbane. Check out my latest work via www.livphotography.com.au My life revolves around art, design and photography. Without these things, I wouldn\'t be who I am today. Studying art in high school was my form of release. My works were fusions of photography and photo-manipulation combined to create my own perfect world - \'BrisKongVia\', a combination of Brisbane and Hong Kong (http://www.livphotography.com.au/briskongvia). My series \'BrisKongVia\' won the Education Ministers Award for the Exellence in Visual Arts and was exhibited at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art along with other national galleries. My passion for photography grew even stronger after my brother bought me my first DSLR when I was 18. After graduating from university with my Advertising and Communication Design degree I decided to take a leap of faith and immediately signed up to study Photography. I do not regret that decision to this day. I\'m also currently working as Head Designer for Brisbane\'s independant lifestyle, beauty and fashion zine Socks & Sandals. I aspire to become one of Queensland\'s top advertising and commercial photographers and later on move up to being an Art Director. Nonetheless, I hope to live, breathe and enjoy photography for the rest of my life.
