Ananda Oliver is a Photographer based in Edinburgh and working all across Scotland.
I’m Ananda Oliver! I moved to Scotland from Australia with my husband, Ryan, & our two beautiful children, Conor and Freyja. Motherhood has shaped so much of who I am & how I approach my work. It's a constant reminder of the importance of connection, of the fleeting moments that make life so precious. These moments—raw, imperfect, & real—are what I strive to capture in my work.
I’m an incredibly nostalgic & sentimental soul, always drawn to the beauty in even the smallest moments. Film & cinema has been my greatest inspiration—it tells stories that feel timeless. I aim to create images that feel as though they could play out as your own personal film, each photograph is a glimpse into your story—ethereal, cinematic, and true to you.
I work mostly with couples & families, but I also delve into lifestyle & brand work. My creative philosophy is simple: it’s all about connection. I observe, I create the space for movement, and I allow those genuine moments to unfold naturally. I believe in capturing heirloom moments—images that are as true to the subject as they are timeless, so that they can be cherished for generations to come.
