Oliver Hellowell

Oliver Hellowell is a 22 year old photographer, to me he in himself is an inspiration. He is a wonderful young man who has Down Syndrome and through watching his stepfather Mike O'Carroll take photographs he too learned various skills of photography and he himself is now a photographer.

Oliver developed a love for the great outdoors and a love for the many types of wildlife that live in it. On his page his mum wrote, "When environments or individuals have failed Oliver we have surrounded him with belief, encouragement and optimism. Patience, guidance and targeted tuition enabled Oliver to utilise the world of photography as both a tool for him to record the world in the way he sees it and as something which beings him a great sense of achievement, pride and self esteem."
