About
Olivier was Born in 1963 in France (Lyon). He has lived on Reunion Island (France), close to Madagascar, since 2004.
In his photography, Olivier combines his need for travel and open spaces, his talent to recognize compassion within others and his love for photography.
Olivier has traveled extensively throughout India and South East Asia with his mentor, Steve McCurry. From Steve, Olivier has learned how to capture the diversity and dignity within his subjects and how to recognize the ‘fleeting, unguarded moment’ so important in photography. He is fascinated by far away cultures and dedicates himself to immersing into their traditions and daily life, capturing a true and noble portrait.
