My dear friend Oliver Pearce
I'm absolutely heartbroken to hear the news on Friday. I still can’t believe Oli is gone. For over 20 years, I had the privilege of calling him a true friend, and we shared so many incredible memories—both in life and at work—travelling the world together on photoshoots.
Oli was always there for me, both personally and professionally, with his kindness, encouragement, and that quiet strength that lifted everyone around him. No matter the pressure we were under, he stayed calm, creative, and dependable—someone you could always count on. Even when everything around us seemed to fall apart, Oli held it together. That was just who he was.
His passion for photography wasn’t just a career—it was how he connected with the world and revealed its beauty. He had a real gift for capturing moments, and he lived life with the same joy and presence he brought to every image.
I feel incredibly lucky to have had him in my life. He gave so much of himself to those he cared about—always going above and beyond without hesitation. Our friendship is something I’ll always treasure, and I’ll carry it with me for the rest of my life.
It’s unimaginable to think of a world without him. He was one of a kind—a truly rare soul. I’m beyond grateful for the time we had. I know how deeply he was loved, and I can only imagine the weight of this loss for those closest to him. A real gentleman, and always smiling.
I’m so, so sorry. My heart is with his family right now.
Biggest hug Oli and RIP Kim ###
