ABOUT OLIVIA BEE

Olivia Bee is a photographer and director. She is intrigued by the magic of everyday life, a human’s inherent connection with land, and how the beauty of memories (real or imagined) touches us.
With an initial rise in the photography world via Flickr in 2009, she began shooting commercially for international brands such as Nike and Converse at the age of 15, had a New York Times Magazine cover under her belt at 16, and a commission for Hermès by 17.

While she was still a teenager, spearheading the rebrand for the iconic French perfume from Cacharel, “Anais Anais” got her foot officially in the door of the directing world. Within a few years, her music video for Olivia Rodrigo’s “traitor” was nominated for a VMA in 2022, she ran around in Eastern Oregon with Maggie Rogers making the music video for “Light On,” and her narrative short film “All The World” showed at multiple festivals in the US.

She became the youngest artist to have a book published with Aperture Foundation with the release of her monograph “Kids In Love” at 22 in 2016. The work was shown as a solo show at Aperture Foundation as well as agnès b in New York City. She has been included in group exhibitions with Danziger Gallery, agnès b, Aperture Foundation, Weinstein Gallery, Bernal Espacio Galeria, and with Van Cleef & Arpels in Kyoto and Paris. Her solo show “In The Secret Distance” showed at Headstone Gallery at Upstate Art Weekend in 2025, as well as online at Danziger Gallery. Olivia has given two Tedx talks and has spoken at conferences around the world. She has been listed in the sought after directories of PDN 30 Under 30, and Forbes 30 Under 30.

Olivia lives in Southwestern Oregon with her husband, Joe, and their daughter, Mary. They run Y Knot Farm + Ranch in Oregon’s Umpqua Valley, with a focus on regenerative, pasture raised meats. The dance between the rootedness of farm life, and the sparkle of international travel, punctuated with art making, is what makes Olivia tick.
