Hello, my name is Olivier. I am 43 years old and I am from France. Back in the day, I was an aquarium enthusiast with 42 aquariums all filled with freshwater shrimp, and I bought my first camera without knowing what was going to happen 12 years later. After five years of photographing the contents of my aquariums, a photographer friend took my head out of the water and explained to me that there was a multitude of other things to photograph. Basically attracted by the world of the very small, I practiced macro photography with insects, flowers, and mushrooms.

Then I became greedy to discover the many facets of photography. It was then that I tried my hand at various style exercises: compositing, high speed, studio, then two years doing urbex in a few countries. Enriched by all my experiences, I returned to the macro but in an artistic way.

Adorable pup! And I love how the leaves pick up the spots on his coat.

In 2017, I started to exhibit and it has been going on for 6 years throughout France, but also in Belgium and on the border of Switzerland. In 2018, I released my book "Monde Invisible" with the participation of Kyriakos KAZYRAS who gave me the honor of a preface.

In February 2021, after careful consideration, I acquired an Australian Shepherd. "Rexie" is an adorable female who unknowingly changed my life! I usually say that she gave me confidence and awareness. I decided to replace butterflies, flowers, mushrooms, and dragonflies with my dog. She came to take her place in my dreamlike universe and it was a revelation to the point of professionalizing me as an animal photographer specializing in dog photography.

    Thank you very much This is my dog and she is an Australian Shepherd. On the other hand, it must be taken into account that it is a herding dog and therefore a working dog that needs a lot of energy expenditure, a lot of attention and a lot to go out.

    I agree with you, but many Bored Panda people only take a look at the first 4 or 5 photos, then leave the posts again, I´m wondering why those visit the posts at all... I want to see the whole posts, from the first to the last photo.

    In less than a year, more than a hundred dogs have passed through my lens and I have never felt so fulfilled as since I started doing this. Dogs bring me an extraordinary balance and serenity. A real connection is established even with the most complicated dogs, to the great surprise of their masters.

    We form a duo in life on stage,

    My dog ​​is my best partner, I owe her a lot,

    She succeeded where many humans have failed for me…

    I love you, Rexie.

    During my photo shoots with dogs, the first thing I explain to the owners is that it is the dog who decides, and I adapt to them, not the other way around. The goal is to provide quality artistic images, but not only that. It is essential for me that the images reflect the identity of the dog since their owners are accustomed to being around them on a daily basis.

    To ensure the best conditions for my sessions, I gather information about the dog before the session. This includes their motivations, fears, particularities, and any health concerns. These details help me determine how, where, and when I will work, as well as how I should approach our meeting. Respecting the dog is a golden rule for me, and I communicate a lot with them through eye contact and by allowing them to approach me. Once trust is established, everything becomes even more wonderful. In 2022, I had the opportunity to meet over 700 dogs, and often, even with dogs that are difficult to approach, my clients tell me, "You have a gift because my dog doesn't let himself be approached like this normally."

    When asked about the essential elements in photography for me, I simply answer, "light and emotion." The equipment is merely a tool; it is my artist's eye and the emotions I share with dogs that make these images powerful because they are spontaneous and created with benevolence. In my opinion, the strongest images are the ones where I allow the dog to live its life, and it is up to me to know how to move in space to reveal the potential strength of each dog.

    I view my work in a similar light to children's photography. The individuals who seek my services are people who love and care for their pets. When I capture their four-legged companions in natural settings without altering their identity and personality, the magic happens. I do this job out of passion, and that's what sets this business project apart and makes it successful. My own dog made me aware of the importance of trust and confidence, and that's where my work began. I want to make people aware that they should trust their pets and take pride in having them in their lives. Regularly, people tell me, "I don't have a dog, but I'd like to have one just for you to take a picture of." What better reward than to receive this kind of testimony? Every day, I know why I wake up and who I do it for. It brings me growing pleasure because I have the luxury of living from my passion, and I never feel like I'm working. I cherish every moment.
