In this series Olaf portrays his subjects in a striking yet respectful manner, with identity, culture and personal appearance at the center. As is often the case in his work, he combines a carefully staged style with a strong human presence.
Erwin Olaf (1959–2023) was an internationally renowned Dutch photographer, known for his meticulously staged photography in which every detail was carefully directed.
