A winner of World Press Photo, American Photography, and CPOY, Oliver has photographed cover stories for The New York Times Magazine, People, and The Washington Post. His work also appears in The Boston Globe, The Los Angeles Times, New York Magazine, The New Republic, Politiken, and Forbes, among others.

His photography has been exhibited at the International Center of Photography, Baxter St, and Photoville, and has appeared in over 60 exhibitions worldwide as part of World Press Photo's touring show. He is a graduate of ICP's Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism program.

Oliver moves through spaces that others don't see. A Place To Die follows his time at a house where terminally-ill people go to drink a life-ending medication. The One Who Got Away is a portrait series which connects each person through the loss of a loved one in their life.

Across his work, Oliver's photographs trace moments of vulnerability that feel familiar yet are rarely encountered.
