Julian Olivas

Julian Olivas was born in the Philippine Islands and studied architecture at The City College of New York where he took his first photographs with a Chinese plastic camera.

After practicing architecture for more than a decade in New York, Los Angeles, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, he pursued a childhood dream and became a professional helicopter pilot. He started flying in Canada to learn how to fly in the bush, then moved to California where he mastered the art of flying in wind and mountain, then followed the nomadic ways of pilots to work in Hawaii teaching young Japanese how to navigate rainforest and open sea.

Flying was not enough however, and his hunger for telling stories with pictures remained unsatisfied. So, to unite his passions for flying, photography and adventure with his experience as an architect, he established
his Manhattan-based company Air-to-Ground and now shoots and flies for architects, builders and other creative professionals.

Julian Olivas documents life in challenging environments. Man's imprint on the landscape, or the lack of it, is a contrasting theme that drives his work. Mirroring this theme, he divides his time between New York City where he continues to teach flying and Alaska’s Aleutian Islands where he herds cattle, reindeer, and wild horses with helicopters, all the while bringing to focus the unique contrasts between the extreme ends of
the USA from east to west.
