Olivier Meyer

His photo-journalism was first published in France-Soir Magazine[1] and subsequently in the daily France Soir in 1981.

[2] Starting from 1989, a selection of his black and white photographs of Paris were produced as postcards[3] by Éditions Marion Valentine.

He often met the photographer Édouard Boubat on the île Saint-Louis in Paris and at the Publimod laboratory in the rue du Roi de Sicile.

His work is in the tradition of humanist photography[7] and street photography using the same material as many of the forerunners of this style: Kodak Tri-X black and white film, silver bromide prints on baryta paper, Leica M3 or Leica M4 with a 50 or 90 mm lens.

[8] His portrait of Aguigui Mouna sticking his tongue out[9] like Albert Einstein, published in postcard form in 1988,[10] and subsequently as an illustration, in a book by Anne Gallois[11] served as a blueprint for a stencil work by the artist Jef Aérosol in 2006[12] subsequently reproduced in the book VIP.
