Preface Photography can be many things, from blaringly authentic to dreamily surreal. Denis Olivier is a French photographer who is renowned for his ability to warp objects and morph subjects. In many cases, one cannot tell what the subject of his photograph is. He has a talent for evoking strong emotion from even the simplest of items. Olivia Shaw is a Midwestern photographer who greatly enjoys the work of Denis Olivier, and finds inspiration in his work. In this book, Olivia Shaw and Denis Olivier push object photography to its very limits. A strong theme in this book is focus, as the two photographers strategically use blurry vs. clear images to conjure sentiment and passion.

Artists’ Bio
Denis Olivier was born in 1969 in Royan, France. He grew
up with parents who were photographers, but he did not get
interested in photography until he was 17 years old.
Painting and drawing were his main artistic interests at
first. He visited many black and white photography
galleries as a child, which influenced his work today.
When he first started to photograph at 17, it was only
recreational. He started his university career majoring in
biochemistry, and he soon switched to computer graphics and
generated imagery when he realized his true passion. When
he switched majors, he started taking more photos and used
his knowledge of computer editing to enhance his images.
