One of my favourate days working alongside, leading fashion director Esther Quek. We spent the day in the desert in December 2011 kicking of at 4am to get the first light. Powerful Pro Photo lighting rented at Hot Cold Rental was used to match the harsh intensity of Dubai’s desert sun.

Colin Firth during his visit to Dubai
I’m honoured to have met and photographed Mr Firth at the Burj Khalifa, last December. He was actually very easy to photograph and as you can imagine was an absolute gentleman! While the rest of my team with photoSolutions.me was photographing the illustrious Chivas Regal Legends Dinner, I was trying to get the best lighting for Mr Firth before he turned up. I posed my assistant, Joel, in exactly the same position as in the above photo only seconds before Colin walked in.
Colin Firth featured in Aqua Vita
wow, oliver all your photos are just stunning!!! great job, i know you can go far!!! WOW!
Really good work Oliver!
Thanks Sid, appreciate a lot when it comes from you !!!!! 
I really liked TKS, Colin Firth more than devreses his win, but it did NOT have the substance tf4 win for Best Picture, nor does it make sense that it stole the best original script from inception.The King Speech is pretty funny, and touching at the end. It’s a good movie from start tf4 finish, but that’s it. Just a good movie. It feels more like a BBC made for TV movie than anything else. The script has hardly any turns an, while well written, is just as silly as you’d expect a movie about a sturret prince to be.The social network, on the other hand, had the intriguing story, the amazing dialogues and more of an ensemble cast than TKS, which was basically all about the 2 actors.Great movies make u think afterwards. Social network did, black swan did it beautifully, hell, even Toy Story 3 did. What does the king’s speech makes you think about? Yeah, i know, if u try hard enough you can do things, but it’s just too thin of a story to call it the best picture of the year
