Dani Olivier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dani Olivier (born 1969) is a French photographer known for his work in abstract nude photography. He graduated from the business school HEC Paris.[1]
Olivier began practicing photography as a teenager in an informal weekly photography club in Paris.[2]
Between 2000 and 2006, he explored digital self-portraits, asking his models to use a digital camera to take their first nude selfies. His goal was to capture a unique, unrepeatable moment: a person’s very first self-portrait, taken before the widespread popularity of selfies.[3]
Since 2007, Olivier has specialized in abstract nude photography, creating compositions by projecting patterns onto his models and incorporating movement and optical distortion. He employs a minimalist setup—"a body, a black backdrop, and lights"[4]—combined with high-end light projectors and state-of-the-art cameras.[2]
