OLLI MUELLER WAS BORN IN HANOVER IN THE SUMMER OF 1993 – AND IT WAS CLEAR FROM AN EARLY AGE THAT HE WAS FASCINATED BY CAMERAS. AS A CHILD, HE DISCOVERED HIS WORLD WITH A CAMCORDER AND A CAMERA. THIS PASSION WAS INHERITED IN HIM FROM AN INHERENT LIFE: HIS FATHER, AN ENTHUSIASTIC BACKPACKER AND GLOBAL TRAVELER, BECAME A MENTOR AND INDUCTIVE COMPANION.

While his peers play games, OLLI prefers to observe people, lighting, and details. The camera rests for a while – his eyes remain alert. Even as a teenager, he recognized the significance of subjects long before they were snapped.

He started out as a reporter – for programs including "ABENTEUER LEBEN" (KABEL1) and various radio stations. But he was drawn to photography.

2014 – OLLI MOVES TO BERLIN AND BEGINS AN APPRENTICESHIP TO BECOME A MEDIA DESIGNER FOR IMAGE AND SOUND – BREAKS IT AFTER A FEW MONTHS.

THE REASON: SHE DOESN'T SATISFY HIM.

BUT THERE IS THIS ONE MOMENT: AT CHRISTMAS 2014 HE RECEIVED A NIKON D7100 AS A GIFT.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHIC REBOOT.

THE FIRST PICTURE? IS KEEPED TO THIS DAY.

OLLI continues to educate himself, attends workshops and develops his distinctive style: honest, travel-focused, human.

HE ACCOMPANIES MOTOR RACERS LIKE MAXIMILIAN GÜNTHER (TODAY FORMULA E) & DAVID KOLKMANN, BECOMES AN ON-BOARD PHOTOGRAPHER FOR AIDA CRUISES, DOCUMENTS INTERNATIONAL CITIES AND TEAMS – INCLUDING THE YOUTH TEAM OF FC ST. PAULI.

The next milestone follows in 2019: his first exhibition, "The First Time," in Hanover. It becomes a hit with audiences—and the launch of his first online shop, the "Official Pomp Store" (Pomp = "Photos by Olli Mueller Photography").

From 2020 to 2023, OLLI photographed for Hannover 96, his beloved club – thus fulfilling a long-held dream.

In 2022, the brand transformation will take place: "OFFICIAL POMP STORE" will become "TRVL LOVR" (pronounced "TRAVEL LOVER").
THE NEW NAME SPEAKS IT ALL: PHOTOGRAPHY AND PRODUCTS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO TRAVEL – WITH UNIQUE PIECES FOR THE HOME, ON THE GO, OR AS A FASHION STATEMENT. THE BRAND IS DEVELOPING INTO AN INSIDER TIP IN SECTORS SUCH AS INTERIOR, HOTEL, SPA, GASTRONOMY, OFFICE, AND RETAIL.

TRVL LOVR STANDS FOR EXCLUSIVE WALL ART, LIMITED EDITIONS, SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS – AND A CLEAR VISION: "PRESERVING MOMENTS FROM TRAVEL AND TRANSLATING THEM INTO DESIGN." OLLI WORKS WITH RENOWNED PARTNERS, CURATES EACH COLLECTION HIMSELF, AND STAYS TRUE TO HIS ROOTS:

"THERE ARE PICTURES THAT ARE UNFOLDABLE. BUT I DON'T TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS TO PUT THEM IN A DRAWER. THEY ARE TO BE SEEN." – (HELMUT NEWTON)
