About Olivier Lavenac

I've been teaching visual arts and drama in middle and high school for the past ten years. When I first started my career in France’s priority education system right after graduating, I put photography on hold to focus on teaching and improvisational theater. But in 2022, after a ten-year break, I picked up my camera again.

These days, I’m particularly drawn to portraits and the human figure—but not exclusively. Photography has become an extension of my theatrical experience; it feels like I’m translating the emotions and stories of the characters I love to play on stage into the people and moments I capture in everyday life. Through my lens, I get to tell new stories, inspired by the world around me.
