About me....

Born in Switzerland, Oliver Altermatt is a fine art photographer specialising in alternative photographic processes such as Tintype, Polaroid, cyanotype, and analogue film. He divides his time between the Mornington Peninsula and Hydra Island, Greece, where he documents landscapes, seascapes, and the rhythms of island life, often in the quiet off-season. On Hydra, he also offers immersive workshops and one-on-one tuition, guiding participants through the entire analogue film process—from shooting to developing, scanning, and post-editing—sharing his passion for hands-on, experimental photography. Oliver’s work combines a semi-abstract aesthetic with texture, depth, and timelessness, and he has exhibited internationally, receiving both critical acclaim and recognition for his innovative approach.​​​
