Olivier Springer

He developed his passion for photography in the 1970s, influenced by his grandfather and stepfather, who introduced him to classic analogue photography. As a young man, he used photography as a source of inspiration for his paintings and drawings, drawing inspiration from Max Ernst and his collage technique.

Olivier discovered portrait photography in the 1990s before turning to digital photography in the early 2000s. He was inspired by classic photographers such as Frank Horvat and Peter Lindbergh. Despite the digital shift, he still appreciates classic photography and keeps film in his fridge.

He specialises in sensual portrait, boudoir and street photography. For him, the face, the expression and the lighting are more important than bare skin. Photography is not only Olivier's passion, but also his mission to capture moments and emotions for eternity. He sees it as a means of communication and is fascinated by the possibility of telling stories through his images. He constantly asks himself fundamental questions: What does he want to achieve with his images? Where do they belong? Is it worth the effort? Will the viewer recognise what he is trying to say? These considerations guide his creative process, and this constant self-reflection gives his work a particular depth and authenticity.

For Olivier, boudoir photography is central - a meditative subject - quiet and intimate. Sensuality is emphasized, not just nudity. As opposed to pure eroticism, boudoir is closer to classic fashion photography. The subject is not degraded to a mere object. Rather, the aim is to portray elegance, dignity and pride. Olivier strives to capture his models in all their beauty and personality, creating an atmosphere of grace and sophistication. In his boudoir photography, however, he is not only concerned with aesthetic representation, but also with capturing the emotional depth and inner strength of his models.

While social networking sites play a subordinate role for him, Olivier prefers exhibitions and books as presentation media in order to bring out the full effect of his images. His work has been featured in various photography magazines, he has published several illustrated books and won several awards in the field of boudoir photography. All of this reflects his impressive photographic career and skills.
