Oli through the eye of a Lens

I just got back from a monster shoot today and found an inbox FULL of photos from my good friends and director Julius.

Jules can always be found, when overseas on a shoot, with his old school range-finder film camera... and he was always snapping away when we weren't looking. Well it turned out like a nice kinda documentary photo diary, so I thought I'd post them!

Here's three pics, from 3 countries... that show how obsessed I am with reading. ESPECIALLY when on location. Contrary to popular belief, making TV can be REALLY bloody boring. So taking along 3 books on a 5 day shoot... I'll usually finish the lot

I have even developed the ability to read in cars and buses... which definitely passes the time.

I'm always looking to have a bit of fun... and just plain enjoy getting the crew to laugh too... I'm constantly talking at full speed, deliberately messing up my lines, and just generally making stupid poses in an attempt to lighten the mood

Sure, there are some boring times... but I also get to see some amazing places...

and meet some cool people too

Sarah Jane Dias

Van Ness Wu

.... and Shaa'ir and Func...

But I also get to work with some great people, and good friends

Okay people... hope you enjoy the pics... I'll get more blogging on soon... I've got a busy weekend ahead though

After plunging into the modeling business in 1999 in Hong Kong, Oli began his career appearing in ads for a number of renowned international brands that culminated in a year long Levis campaign and a role in the smash hit Hong Kong movie GEN Y COPS.

It was Oli’s decision to have a two week holiday in Singapore which allowed his career to skyrocket to even more exciting levels. Oli’s quick wit and easy demeanor helped him quickly climb the ladder from local photoshoots to magazines, international adverts, commercials, corporate videos, live hosting and finally heading an array of television shows. He is now based in Singapore, and with his personal discipline for hard work, the drive for professional excellence, and dedication to teamwork and creating a quality performance, the sky is the limit for this greatly in demand and popular television host.

His television hosting career started with the UN backed environmental show ECO 4 THE WORLD which then led to him being hired as lead anchor for Starhub’s coverage of the FIFA World Cup 2006 on WORLD CUP PRIMETIME.

His ability at handling the extensive details necessary for that show caught the eye of the AXN/Animax network, who selected him to host CYBERMAX exclusively for the Animax network, a show which covered the World Cyber Games in Singapore. The improvisational, comedic nature of the show appealed to Oli’s natural showmanship and overwhelming desire to make people laugh. This effort led him into the show TECHNOMAX for AXN/Animax, a high paced, funny show in which many would have lost their way under the intensive tech-babble.

The rampant success of TECHNOMAX allowed Oli to return as host for the second season of the primetime show SONY STYLE: Season Two on AXN, a role he had originally been forced to turn down for its first year run. The success of SONY STYLE: Season Two across 20 countries and on the screens of 30 million households has turned Oli into one the region’s leading rising stars. His career has continued as host of FRIDAY PICTURE HOUSE on HBO Signature and LONELY PLANET'S BEST IN ASIA on Channel 5 Singapore and BBC Worldwide.

Oli is currently shooting Sony Style Season 3, as well as a brand new show ePAD on MAX.

Catch the premiere of Sony Style this March 24th, only on AXN
