Special #002: Olivia Bee

Too young to be a photographer? Olivia Bolles, 1994, USA, better known as Olivia Bee who just turned 16, proves otherwise. For several years she has been taking photographs and experimenting with video. She already worked for clients like Converse. Her photography is about the life she is living, her friends and herself. The images are playfull, spontaneous, poetic and innocent. Her website already has a large collection of photographs. The following photographs come from various series.

There is a lot of potential here. We are very curious to see where Olivia is going with her photography.

Welcome to 500 photographers

The target of this website is embedded in its name; to post active image-makers until we reach 500 photographers. The photographers can be from any discipline within the photographic range, but they have to be at the top of their game. When we get to number 500, we will have a deep database of great photographers.

500 photographers is done by Pieter Wisse (1980, The Netherlands). He has a very clear and distinct vision of what great photography should be. Since 2007 he has become a centipede in the saturated world of image creation and represents an example of a 21st century player active in the visual field; both on and offline.

In the past twelve years he has ventured into projects ranging from artistic leadership of a photography festival, curatorial projects for various institutions worldwide, publishing books and a magazine, running a bookstore and gallery to creating the internationally acclaimed 500 Photographers project. He has done countless amounts of portfolio reviews, given masterclasses and judged a large number of competitions.

Due to the variety of endeavors and years of studying and speaking to photographers he quickly recognizes the features he believes to be of the utmost importance to be a successful photographer in this day and age.
