Oliver Woods works on photo projects using a careful and emotionally forensic documentary style. His work frequently deals with ways to represent what is passing, or what has already passed. This can take the form of using archive materials as well as other image-making processes like x-rays and electron microscope imagery. His work tries to show an alternative, transformative view of things - including portraits, landscapes and everyday objects.

His work has appeared in magazines such as: Hotshoe Magazine (the shooting Mum and Dad issue), The Financial Times Weekend Magazine, Newsweek Japan, El Mundo, VG (Norway) and The Sunday Times Magazine. His work has also been shown and in Lensculture, the Association of Photographers, the Royal Academy and Format International Photo Festival, among others. He is based in London.
