Born in Atlanta Georgia as Quintavius De'Shon and later renamed Robert by his adoptive parents, Robert “Q.” Oliver, began photographing with his grandmother’s cameras as a child. Exploring the streets of Atlanta, he made a name for himself in the local art and photography scene by pushing the limits of what was socially acceptable in fashion and beauty. His trademark photographs of elegant ballerinas and nude models in the middle of his city’s busy streets along with his cinematic depictions of true life scenarios has shocked and inspired audiences from all over. While fashion and fine art were his focus as a young and budding artist, he retained an affinity and respect for travel and exploring other cultures after discovering the photographs featured in National Geographic and a number of travel periodicals during high school. Those images pushed Q. to leave his home and travel with his camera to places like India and Cuba to explore the chaos and beauty that exists abroad.
