Zürich / Cafe

An oasis in the middle of Zurich. To relax, eat, work or a cosy meal for two – a visit to «Lotti» is a must in Zurich. Don't miss it.

London / Museum

The Garden Museum and the Garden Museum Cafe are a welcome addition to an area of London that is slow to change. The food at the cafe is modern and seasonal, and the space is beautiful and looks out into a small garden by Dan Pearson. Christopher Woodward, the museum director, is active in improving and campaigning for local green spaces and creating space for the local community. The Museum lives inside an old 18th-century church and has a changing program of exhibits. Worth noting, it is a museum on the subject of gardening, not of gardens, so don’t expect many flower beds. Throughout the summer holidays, the Museum has lots of great events for kids, including cooking and drawing. Luke and I also designed the identity for the museum… the tote bags and visitor badges are particularly nice.

London / Cafe

Sit. Drink coffee. Buy Leica. Leave penniless.

Brighton / Shop

This is Sandpiper bookshop in the North Laine. The North Laine is a very old residential and shopping area. the majority of shops, cafes and bars are independent and have been that way since I arrived almost 20 years ago. Sandpiper stock hundreds of current and out of print photo books at very competitive prices. Here i can gouge away....The music is ace too.

New York / Park

This is the view from the Manhattan Bridge of the Fulton Ferry Park, a pretty popular destination being between the Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridges, which still has the old waterfront tobacco warehouses. It’s changed a bit being made more of a “finished” park with a kind of beach etc, and has also been a regular spot for outdoor music shows, one for me being the memorable 7-7-7 Boadrum orchestrated by the Boredoms.

Hamburg / Place

Is a quarter in the district of Hamburg-Mitte and is located on the Elbe river island. It's a futuristic, postmodern and the largest rebuilding project in Europe of city-planning where the old port warehouses are being replaced with offices, hotels, shops, offical buildings and residential areas. The Elbphilhamonie is a concert hall under construction and one of the main parts of HafenCity. It's designed by Herzog / de Meuron and will be the highest inhabited building of Hamburg.

Paris / Bar

Chez Jeanette is a cool bar to hang out in located on the same street where I have lived since I was two years old. Many trendy young people hang out here everyday where one can listen to good music whilst sipping nice drinks.

New York / Cinema

I don't go to the movies much but when I do I love coming here... they have the best of the independent and international films and it's the last of it's kind in New York.

Chicago / Museum

Making leather, kink, BDSM, and fetish accessible through research, preservation, education and community engagement

Milan / Cafe

Loste Café is a Danish bakery opened by Stefano Ferraro and Lorenzo Cioli, two Italians who met at the star restaurant Noma, in Copenhagen. It's a simple (but with a good taste!) coffee shop, with amazing cinnamon rolls - Lorenzo is the former head of pastry in Noma - and a good option for a healthy quick lunch.

Bangkok / Cafe

A charming old-world café, On Lok Yun has been opened to coffee lovers for over 80 years. My favorite menu is steamed bread with custard. It’s not too sweet and the bread is very soft like cotton. They also have Thai-style American breakfast, soft drinks, and toasts with various toppings. My mom is a big fan of this café. Once you try this place, you will forget about those brand coffee shops for sure.

London / Attraction

A Hint of Mint, Taylors Sky, Class Freedom, Horseshoe Ping – amazing names, muscle, speed, beers, the cheap thrill of Greyhound racing at the dog tracks is a London must. It was best experienced at Walthamstow Stadium, an iconic 1930's stadium with a fantastic neon sign that sadly closed for racing in 2008. However fights to save it from demolition and reopen it for racing have been ongoing since then. So please support the campaign 'Save our Stow' and in the meantime head to the dog tracks in Romford, Wimbledon or Crayford.

Brought up in the Cotswolds, Oliver began his photographic education studying photography at the renowned course at Filton Technical College in Bristol. He went on to study film and television at the London College of Printing and has been balancing work in stills and moving image ever since. His first solo exhibition entitled Volte-face will premier at London's Royal Geographical Society in September 2016. Taken over a period of four years, Volte-face is a series of images taken at the world’s most photographed historic sites, buildings and monuments - but looking away from them. To coincide with the exhibition at the RGS a book of the project, featuring an essay by Geoff Dyer, will be published by Dewi Lewis Publishing Ltd. Oliver continues to produce stills portraiture for major broadcasters as well as generating his own projects for exhibition and publication. He cites as key influences William Eggleston, Saul Leiter and Andre Kertesz. He continues to plough a distinctly idiosyncratic path as Director of Photography on feature films as diverse as Clare Kilner’s The Wedding Date, Frank Oz’s Death At A Funeral and Joanna Hogg’s Unrelated as well as experimental gallery-based installations such as Gideon Koppel’s Borth. He remains in great demand worldwide shooting commercials for high profile clients such as Pantene, L’Oreal, La Perla, Ferragamo, Palmolive, Rimmel, Coca Cola, Sony, Guinness, Canon and Cadbury’s.
