Artist Statement
Oliver Doran
“Whether collaborating with iconic brands, celebrities or capturing personal milestones for the man next door, my endeavour remains the same: to create visually striking, flattering portraits that stand the test of time. For me, taking portraits is about freezing moments in life, crafting images that are timeless, creative, and iconic—true reflections of character.
I strive to create a safe and empowering environment for my subjects, ensuring they feel at ease and confident throughout the process. Whether collaborating with magazines or leading a commercial production, I thrive both as a team player and as a curator of the perfect creative team for the project.
