Olivia Phare

Olivia Phare is a North American Fine Art / Conceptual photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona.

She began her photography practice in high-school with a point and shoot camera which she often used to take macro-photographs of the local plant-life as well as portraits of her friends. With a natural talent for the medium, Olivia quickly became the photography editor for both her school newspaper and yearbook, and eventually went on to study fine art photography and film making at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.

After graduating, Olivia spent the better part of a decade as a portrait and event photographer until she decided to pursue fine art photography full-time.
