Oliver Hellowell-Photographer with Down Syndrome

If you are a photographer enthusiast of any sort and have never heard of Oliver Hellowell you should take a minute to look him up. At just 17 years old his dream for years now has been is to become a landscape and wildlife photographer and he is very talented. He also happens to have down syndrome.

If you find his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/OliverHellowellPhotographer you can view his work and see that he has 6,091 fans and counting.  Through his page you can also see pieces of his personality come through as he finds amazing shots. His family obviously adores him, and he takes his work very seriously.

I find Oliver's story truly inspiring. Not only is he talented but he did not let Down Syndrome slow him down or disrupt his dream of becoming a photographer. How many of us are quick slow to try new things, to put aside dreams, to never try anything new because of a myriad of excuses we concoct. Not Oliver he wanted to do it so he did.

If you have a minute scroll through is work or his Facebook page and find the inspiration you may have been looking for!
