Born in Switzerland, Oliver Altermatt re-entered the world of photography in 2018, after a lengthy break.

His first camera, a Yashica  was gifted to him at the age of 12. A dark room followed soon after and many happy hours were spent developing and printing black and white images. His mentor Alain Stouder (1st price Hasellblad winner 974) from Switzerland inspired Oliver for many years to come. 

The start of the digital world was the end of Oliver’s commitment to go on with the art of photography.

His passion for photography inspired him to enrol in the Advanced Diploma of Photography course at PSC (Photography Studies College, Melbourne).

He regularly attends Melbourne Camera Club, and has won a few small awards.
Oliver is on an amazing journey discovering different genres with a strong focus on street photography, portrait and travel.

He is looking forward in participating at the exhibition “Shot in the Heart of Melbourne 2020.
