About Oliver Visual Arts

Oliver Visual Arts is the evolution of a 15 year creative journey.

Founded by Ryan Oliver, a U.S. Army veteran turned photographer and filmmaker, our work is rooted in story. For over 10 years we ran a successful photography studio in Paducah, Kentucky. Then, in 2019, we did something most people dream of: we hit pause. Sold everything. Traveled full-time with our kids across the country in an RV. For five years we chased sunsets, found silence, reconnected with what mattered.

Now we’re back, not just to take photos, but to tell stories.

Whether we’re capturing a wedding, a senior in high school, recording a legacy interview with a veteran close to your heart, or filming a documentary-style brand story, we bring the same commitment: to produce meaningful, cinematic work that reflects who you are.
