Dani Olivier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dani Olivier (born 1969) is a French photographer. He has graduated from the business school HEC Paris.[1] He started photography as a teenager in an informal, weekly photography club in Paris.[2] Between 2000 and 2006, Olivier worked on digital self-portraits. He asked his models to use a digital camera to shoot their first nude selfies. He aimed to capture a unique moment that could not be reproduced: a person's very first selfie, long before the concept became popular. [3]

From 2007 on, Olivier has specialized on abstract nude, compositions that he achieved by projecting patterns on his models, coupled with movement and optical deformations. He is using a minimal design ("a body, a black backdrop and lights")[4] coupled with top-notch, state-of-the-art light projectors and cameras.[2]
