JACQUES OLIVAR

(1941, Casablanca)

Jacques Olivar was born in Casablanca (1941). As a young man, he went to flight school to become an airline pilot. However, the immense pleasure he got from flying airplanes didn't avert his overflowing passion for images. In 1987, Jacques Olivar began working in fashion and collaborated with the most prestigious international magazines. 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.
