Welcome to my photography site!  If you want to see my photos, simply select one of the categories above.  If you want to read a little background on me, continue below...

I was born and raised in Louisville, and have lived in Kentucky my entire life (with the exception of undergraduate years in Massachusetts).  My current home is in Lexington.  I have a PhD in Biology from the University of Louisville and have taught the subject for more than a decade at the college level.  My main passions outside of science are photography and music.

I've worked on photo projects for a number of individuals, businesses and charitable organizations.  A particular highlight for me was working with the Kentucky chapter of The Nature Conservancy to photographically document the beauty of their preserves.  If you're interested in hiring me for a photography project, or ordering prints of my work, just send me a message at oliver.starks@gmail.com. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you have a great day!
