Olivier Robert
Olivier Robert was born in 1970, Belgium. He was initiated by his parents into black & white photography at the age of 8. He got his first camera in 1985. Around that time, he also discovered Asia. This intense experience has drastically affected his way of life and his vision of the world. Since then, photography and asian cultures will be closely linked.
In 1995, he graduated from the Institute of landscape architecture in Belgium. From then on, he has devoted his work almost exclusively to landscapes using mainly long exposures. The influence of the man-made objects over the waterscapes in an important feature of his work.For many years, he has got thoroughly across Japan looking for landmarks which convey timelessness, simplicity and sometimes mystery.
Based in the Lake Geneva region, he has also produced a collection of prints throughout his 20-year project about this lake. These prints have been exhibited and published many times in France and Switzerland.
