Bio
Olivia Toussaint is a cinematographer of Caribbean heritage, who utilizes the lens to bring to life the emotional connections of heritage, womanhood, spirituality and intergenerational complexities. Her work includes traces of Black art as a photographer and multifaceted creator. As a recent graduate of Howard University, and as an artist, Olivia plans on continuing to be a voice for the Caribbean diaspora in a medium that lasts for generations to come. Creating stories that reject the system is how she creates new ones, ones that represent those without voices for their identities.
Her background includes small crew sets and short films created in her film courses as well as commercial projects in NYC. Her camera experience includes works with the Blackmagic 6k Pro, Blackmagic Ursa Mini and Sony A series cameras. She reaches across creative mediums with experience in graphic design and sports photography. Olivia is currently based in DC with ties to NYC.
