Biography
French photographer born in 1982, Fabien Olart discovered photography in his adolescence through the photos of Lee Miller, Dorothea Lange and Sebastião Salgado. After studies in communication and image, he became a collaborator of the agency Hemis, specializing in tourism and travel.
Regularly published in the press (Le Monde, Détours en France, Maxi, Marianne…) as well as in print (Gallimard, Hachette, Michelin Edition…), his productions are primarily made in Europe. Represented by the Artsper gallery for art prints and a member of the Street Photography France collective, it is in black and white that his sensitivity is most expressed.
Attracted to urban life, it is spontaneous photography, strongly contrasted, playing between shadows and lights that characterizes his work. The human, often alone, withdrawn or in contemplation, retains a central role in the composition of his images.
Exhibited in Paris, Venice or New York, he became an OM System ambassador in 2025.
