About Artist

Quintavius Oliver

Quintavius Oliver (b. 1989 Atlanta, Ga.) is an Atlanta based fine art and documentary photographer who uses his engaging and intimate portraits as a means for dynamic storytelling. Acquiring his first camera at the age of six from his grandmother, he immediately began to document his ever-expanding world. By his mid-20s the self-taught colorblind photographer was making waves in the photography community, landing exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Atlanta and the Griffin Museum in Winchester MA- all while raising his daughter as a full-time single father. Quintavius spent much of his early career straddling the fence between his documentary-style photography in the streets of Atlanta and making intimate portraits with friends, exploring sexuality, fear, joy, and identity. His work would eventually expand to places like India and Cuba where he would explore life in the homes of individuals and families, fostering a sense of global community through photography. Those photographs have since been awarded 1st place in the 2025 International Photography Awards in Greece, exhibitions at The Art Gallery of Alberta, Canada, and even the permanent collections of The Museum of Contemporary Art, Houston TX and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Ga. Now, still with a camera in hand, Quintavius has made it his mission to see and photograph people honestly and wholly as he continues to create a safe space for self-expression and vulnerability through his passion for photography.
