Olivia Steinman is a photographer based in Sarnia, Ontario. She studied photography at OCAD University before returning to her hometown, where she co-founded an artist-run centre and collaborated with local artists to create space for community-based exhibitions and creative projects.

Working primarily with natural light, Olivia’s photography focuses on portraiture and everyday life. She is particularly drawn to photographing artists within their studio spaces, creating portraits that reflect the relationship between person, process, and environment. Alongside commissioned work, her personal practice documents quiet, intimate moments with her children.

 

Her photography has been featured in selected exhibitions in Sarnia and Toronto. Her recent project, Familiar Faces, documented international students navigating the early stages of life in Canada and was featured in the April 2025 issue of Maclean's.

 

Available for editorial assignments, small business photography, family sessions, headshots, commissions, and collaborations.
