Who is Olivier Tops ?

 




I was raised in a family where, for three generations, there had always been a professional photographer.
That is probably why my interest in photography kept on growing since my early childhood ...

I have studied photography for 4 years at the SEPR Institute in Lyon (from 1986 to 1990) and worked until 2004 in the family company.

For a few years, I have been travelling around the world looking for places and people I had not discovered yet . This richful and stunning experience
helped me to deeply enhance my own artistic sensitivity and I tend to think that it finally "revealed" my own style in the art of photography.

When abroad, I explore the visual universe that is offered to me and I try to bring back in my pictures the magic I caught a glimpse of.
Actually photography plays only a subordinate part as my work aims at emotionally touching people...
