Hi everyone!

I am very happy to announce here the publication of an article about my work as a photographer and my way to work with Adobe Lightroom in the latest issue (N°7) of the French magazine: "Savoir Tout Faire en Photographie". In this special issue you will find my interview and 7 of my best creative photos on 4 pages (2 double pages). My interview is from page 86 up to 89. Internet is a great media but to see your works published in a « real » magazine is an amazing experience.

Check my Photoblog for more details and photos Here.

Savoir Tout Faire en Photographie by daaram

Also, today I submitted the last picture from my latest creative series: Alistair: « Portrait of a tree with a thousand faces ».
For this series the subject of the study and unique model is a huge tree (I called it: Alistair) that I can see through my window since years. I created all this series during one month between June and July 2014. I invite you to discover these works on my D.A account and the complete series of 10 photos on my Behance account <a wytiwyg="1" href="www.behance.net/gallery/185941…>Here.

Keep in touch!

Hi everyone!

First news : As you maybe know I recently had the pleasure to receive a Daily Deviation (D.D) from Arctoa on my abstract photo:"Arctic Morning" (see the image below). Thanks to everyone for all your comments, Dev watch and favs!

Second news : I recently answered to an interview about my abstract photos for the: Saturday Spotlight Volume 16 with Arctoa for the DeviantArt's group Abstract and Surreal I took my time to fully answer to very interesting questions like: "Where did you begin with artistic endeavours? How did you come across Abstraction or Surrealism?", "What inspires you to use Abstraction or Surrealism in your work?" or "What do you want to express with your artwork? What is the idea you're trying to put across?". So I'm inviting you to discover and read the full interview following this link @: arctoa.deviantart.com/journal/… I would be happy to read your reactions and comments about it! so you're welcome! :-)

Third news : I'm showing my photos on several other websites and creative communities on the web and actually I'm enjoying to show them at Behance. The last "project" I submitted there is called: "Cold vision" and it's a selection of 10 of my best abstract photos I took through the glass windows in the tramways of Sosnowiec (Poland). This "project" reached the first page of the most viewed photos worldwide! So I'm inviting you to have a look on this series. The first picture from this selection: "A bit warmer than hell" received a Daily Deviation at DeviantArt in February 2012. So please don't hesitate to comment and to add your own appreciation if you like it! This is the link to this album Cold vision_Behance

Fourth and last news for now : A while ago I've been contacted by an important advertising agency who discovered my works (mainly) at DeviantArt and wanted to use one of my abstract photo from my:"Cold vision" series as a background for the advertising campaign of a world famous brand. I'm now waiting for this advertising campaign to officially start to tell you more.

Best greetings from Paris, France,
Olivier

I'm very happy to announce that today on February 22nd 2013 I received my 6th Daily Deviation on my picture: "Arctic morning" (see below). I want to say once again thank you very much to Arctoa :iconarctoa: for the support, the comments and for this D.D and to the very interesting and very active group: Abstract & Surreal :iconabstract-and-surreal: I'm very proud of this award! Thanks also to all my Dev-watchers and visitors faving, commenting and to all of you discovering my gallery!

This is a selection of my last pictures about the sky and the clouds taken through the glass window in the plane during the flights between France and Poland, Paris Beauvais and Katowice to be more precise. I'm a French photographer living in France with my beloved Marta who has Polish origins so very regularly we're traveling to visit her family. Quite soon we'll go back to Poland so I'll enjoy to take more photos of the clouds!

I'm working on this subject since 2009 so this is a short selection of my best older works.


Best greetings from Paris, France :-)
Olivier

My Photo is visible on pages: 62 & 63.

This image has already received several awards on the Internet, at ArtLimited and DeviantArt in 02/2012.

- Thanks again to: KizukiTamura :iconkizukitamura: who first suggested this photo for a D.D.

- To Florian :icondpressedsoul: for the D.D and to think about me to illustrate his article.

That's a very nice surprise, my picture: "A bit warmer than Hell" (see below) received a D.D (a Daily Deviation) this morning (French time). I'm really happy with this and I wanted to thanks once again: KizukiTamura :iconkizukitamura: for the suggestion and support and to DpressedSoul :icondpressedsoul:



I'm a member at DeviantArt since 7 years and that's my 5th Daily Deviation. This new prize is very motivating for me as a creative photographer, it's pushing me strongly to be completely free to create images so abstract, so near from my love for Abstract Art, painters from all times (From Van Eyck to Schiele and from Rothko to Andy Warhol) and many photographers for sure !

I will continue to show here at D.A the best of my works and I also wanted to say that I'm also very happy to receive this D.D today, on the Valentine Day…because it's on this website that 6 years ago, receiving a D.D on another picture (Dog) that I met my woman and beloved Marta :iconyuki-the-vampire: that's a really nice sign ! :-)

See below a selection of other pictures from the same series. All those photos were taken with my cell phone in Sosnowiec, Poland through the window in the tramway, then reworked on Photoshop and other softwares.



And the other D.Ds I received on my works:



A great Valentine Day for everyone ! :heart:
