Erwin Olaf
Dutch photographer Erwin Olaf was born in 1959. The most fame was brought to him by the work as an advertising photographer, but his personal work also deserves no less attention.
Olaf's works are always highly appreciated in a professional environment, he is a laureate of numerous awards, among his clients - the largest companies in the world.
Erwin Olaf first studied at a journalist at the university in Utrecht; Subsequently, he will be carried away by contemporary art, he will be engaged in the design of theatrical and opera productions, along with Ram Koolhaas, he will even build a toilet in Groningen.
Since 1996, Olaf announced his transition to a commercial photograph (its customer list includes Campbell's, Levi's, Diesel, Lavazza, Hennessey, Heineken, Nokia, Microsoft and others), but, fortunately, did not switch his attention to the commercial sector entirely.
Olaf's works are often aggressive, he focuses on universal values and vices, provokes the viewer, undermines the system. Perhaps even from the inside.
