Black and white portrait of Marina Oliphant, Photographer.

Her work has appeared on the covers and pages of many of Australia’s leading magazines, as well as across numerous published books, advertising campaigns and branded content projects.

Known for her calm, professional manner and collaborative approach, Marina enjoys working closely with creative directors, designers, stylists, marketers and business owners to bring ideas to life. Whether leading a streamlined small-business shoot or contributing to a larger commercial production, she values clear communication, thoughtful planning and creating images that connect with the right audience.

Based in Jan Juc on Victoria’s Surf Coast, Marina balances city and regional work while drawing inspiration from the coast, natural light and everyday beauty. Outside client work, she creates fine art landscape photography through her print collection, Oliphant Photo Art.

If you’re looking for thoughtful, high-quality photography with a polished editorial sensibility for your brand, business or publication, Marina would love to hear about your next project.
