Olivia Alexandra Bolling is a visual artist based out of Richmond, VA. Studying filmmaking in New York City, she cut her teeth doing experimental student films and working in commercial advertising. Inspired by true, human stories she went from shooting for Vogue and assisting editing on projects for Consulate NYC, to now shooting photo and video with a disaster relief nonprofit. As a documentarian, her favorite thing is getting to meet and capture the weird, exciting, and resilient stories of the people and places she is lucky enough to encounter.
