about Karl Osborne

Olympic Photographer is a local Bournemouth based photography business run by me, Karl Osborne. I am an established wedding professional, providing my services throughout Dorset, Hampshire and the New Forest for over 5 years.
 
I am an extremely passionate person about my work and a lot of my work is undertaken by recommendations, these come from people who have seen me or been recommend to me by someone they know and trust. This is a unique position to be in as a business, especially for an individual offering such a personal service as photography.

why book me - the right choice for your event

When it comes to photography, firstly I choose to take the time to understand what you are looking for and can give expert advice on ideas that you have.

One of my unique qualities as a photographer is my ability to pre-visualise my shot in advance, as seen through the camera lens and then apply well practised methods of directorship, so that when I actually take the shot, I end up with the perfect image in the camera, without the need or requirement for lots of post production work, which also means that you get your finish images alot quicker.

As a photographer I like to capture every available opportunity as it unfolds and to do this I adapt my shooting style to the genre of photography that I am commissioned to complete. An example would be if I was attending a wedding, I will use a mixture of shooting styles, these include photojournalistic, documentary & portrait photography and within these styles I will seek to capture not only the traditional classic arrangements such as formal arranged shots, but also those spontaneous candid shots, that tell a whole story in themselves and give the essences of either the event, person or object, that you will remember and talk about for a long time to come.

Technology plays a big part in our everyday life and this extends to how I want you to be able to view and use your images. As a modern photographer I choose to give you your images on a "Personal Distribution Free" agreement, this means that you are free to print, post, upload and distribute your images for personal reasons.

As standard I provide all my clients with their own Client Area, where you will be able to view your images online, also some of my packages include your very own DVD presentation pack. Which can also be purchased separately if you want to after your portfolio shoot.

My DVD presentation pack includes both high resolution and low resolution images. Your images on your DVD presentation pack will also be given to you on a "Personal Distribution Free" agreement, this means that you are free to print, post, upload and distribute your images for personal reasons as you like.

I also can provide all other types of printing services, such as album creation, storybooks & picture signature frames and prints in all sizes, details available on request.
