Olivier Lacour, born in 1972 in Paris, was raised in a creative family, nurturing his passion for photography. His mother was an artist and his father a film enthusiast. From a young age, he experimented with the technical aspects of photography. Over the years, he developed a particular interest in photographing buildings, ranging from schools to hospitals, a niche known as "Urban Exploring." This form of photography focuses on capturing the natural decay within abandoned locations, an exclusive field that emphasizes the transience of such places while keeping their locations secret to preserve their authenticity.
