Dani Olivier

Dani Olivier (born 1969) is a French photographer known for his work in abstract nude photography. He graduated from the business school HEC Paris.

Olivier began practicing photography as a teenager in an informal weekly photography club in Paris.

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.

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"—combined with high-end light projectors and state-of-the-art cameras.
