He has worked in digital photography ever since his analog equipment was stolen from his Paris apartment. Olivier holds a PhD in French Literature, and thinks of photographic techniques as forms of writing and research. He has a keen sensitivity toward the beauty of nature. He begins with an idea then explores Paris photographically as if it were a library filled with books - some as overlooked stories waiting to be discovered and others well-read classics (the view from Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower). Olivier brings a particular story to the viewer by observing, shooting, editing, and refining his images. He tends to look for new and inventive ways to present his work. Olivier has been a tremendous source of inspiration to many photographers. His artwork reflects a balance of technical and emotional skills, and his pictures have been described as painterly and unique in presentation and color.
