Jacques Olivar seems to have a knack for bringing glamour to the least likely of places. Whether he's shooting in a traditionally beautiful setting or a piece of shit motel the outcome of casual elegance is the same.
"Jacques Olivar is one of the photographers with whom models prefer
to work, in light of the fact that they shoot their most beautiful
photos with him... " - Canal+ fashion documentary on Jacques Olivar
He's collaborated with the most prestigious of international fashion mags and has been partly responsible for creating the campaign imagery for fashion heavyweights such as Giorgio Armani, Hermès, Comme des Garçons, Céline, Trussardi, Strenesse, Rykiel the list goes on. The sophistication reflected in his photos is never arrogant or inaccessible. It is always a combination of simple elements, which are brought together and result in a beautifully harmonious effect.
