My name is Oliver - Retro among friends - and from my point of view the world started existing on November 9th 1971, I have the honor of being a citizen in the Kingdom of Denmark and I've lived most of my life in the royal capital of Copenhagen. I've had many jobs over the years; from serving in the King's Own Artillery Regiment at the end of the Cold War to dance club security at the beginning of the 21st century, but 5-years apprenticeship in the late 90's means that I can call myself photographer. I've never really liked labels, but I needed something to put on my business card so today I call myself "Independent Photographer/3D Artist/Freelance Writer" but the truth is that I see myself more as an observer who use photography, 3D art and short stories to present the rest of the world to my vision of it.

" Now, if this was a science fiction movie, this is the part where the brilliant boy genius that everybody has been ignoring up to this point, pipes up and tells the balding Captain that by cross linking the Warp Core, the Impulse engine and a reverse framistat, then dividing the warp field lattice by the square root of last Tuesday, he can get them all home."

Well done - I like the atmosphere you've created.

This is superb, especially since the "special effects" are done in-camera rather than in postwork. That's always marvelous. I love night-time photography and have yet to attempt a shot like this! The colors are astounding as is the mood; this is one of those sheer, visual indications that so much of photography is dependent on timing...the timing here is flawless. Everything came together so perfectly, and what you've seen is perfectly captured and presented. This is a really fantastic, quite visually moving piece of work. Bravo! Oh, by the way, I like this, just in case I didn't already say that.
