In his early 20s, Olivier Ribardiere taught himself photography. After a quick stop at photographic school he became the first assistant of Andre Berg, who taught him the basics of his profession.

To increase his experience Olivier headed for Studio Pin-up, where he had the privilege of working with some of the best photographers worldwide including Oliviero Toscani, Jean-Paul Goude, Peter Lindberg, Gilles Tapie and Jean François Jonvelle.

After a few more years assisting he began his solo career at the age of 25, and was quickly recognised as an established professional photographer thanks to his talent, ambition and obstinacy!

Olivier has been repeatedly commissioned by some of the most prestigious brands in children's fashion, including Christian Dior, Sonia Rykiel, Tommy Hilfiger, Jacadi Parfum, Guess, Marks & Spencer, and more. His editorial clients include Vogue, Babybook, Famili, Mumsense and La Petite.
