Matthias OLMETA: French Photographer Known for Portraits and Still Lifes
Matthias OLMETA (1968-) is a French photographer renowned for his portraits and still lifes. He employs an ancient technique called ambrotype, which produces a unique single print. This technique, akin to the daguerreotype, creates a negative image that appears positive against a dark background. Through the high precision and distinctive nature of ambrotype, Matthias OLMETA imparts a profound solemnity to his subjects, presenting them as if extracted from a timeless realm.
