WHEN Oliver Hellowell was diagnosed with Down's Syndrome at birth, some many people made bleak predictions about his future.

Today, aged 19, the Somerset teen is a young man with a keen and intuitive eye for composition whose story and achievements are inspiring and encouraging people across the globe.

The fact he has had to face difficulties and challenges have only served to make his life all the more amazing.

Oliver’s photographs are testament to his talent. His Facebook page has 64,000 followers from around all over the world, and he recently published a volume of his photographs, the first such ever book of photographs by a person with Down's Syndrome.

You can view Oliver’s remarkable photographs at his exhibition at the Tacchi-Morris: called, When people say you’ll never do it DON’T believe them.

His mum, Wendy, said: “Life with Oliver is all about enjoying both the moment and the madness, and although life can be challenging, but it is certainly never dull. 

“Oliver hopes to be able to further his photography to a point where it can be his form of income. He wants to be a professional photographer, and after everything else he has achieved against all the odds, who out there dares to say he can’t?”
