Olivier VAN-DEN-DEN-ABEELE is a travel and cultural documentary photographer Now I live in London. I always liked photography.

Hi, my name is Olivier... I always found my family name too long so very quickly, I reduced it to my initials: VDA. I worked in Paris as creative in advertising: Senior copywriter and Senior Art Director. I then became Creative Director, but today I regret spending more time in meeting than actually creating. This city inspires me and surprises me: I always discover new areas with their own vibes

which encourage me to pull out my camera and capture specific moments. I'm a 100% self taught photographer. I started when I was 6 with my father's Instamatic 133-X, then I played with his Olympus SLR in the 80's... I progressed with a Canon 350D, then a 5D MkII ... which ended up in the sea. A drama for me… Now I have a canon 6D. I like landscapes, architecture, cars... but I prefer travel and cultural documentary photography. I would love to travel more around the world taking pictures, but it's hard to conciliate with a job and no sponsor. Perhaps one day... ;)

Thanks again for stopping by and don't forget to leave your comments ! It's essential to progress in photography or just to boost one’s ego ;))

Short walk in london...

Cette année un calendrier unique à un instant T, quelques photos pour bien aborder la fin d'année. Le manque de temps, l'apprentissage d'un nouveau boitier, la préparation de futurs voyages ont fait que j'ai préfère annuler le calendrier traditionnel de l'avent. Je suis perfectionniste et je ne publie pas de photo dans l'empressement, juste pour dire c'est fait. La photographie est avant tout et surtout une passion que je préserve. Merci et à très vite ;)

This year, a unique calendar capturing a moment in time: just a few photos to gracefully welcome the end of the year. A lack of time, learning to master a new camera, and preparing for future travels led me to forgo the traditional Advent calendar. I'm a perfectionist and don't share photos in haste just to check a box. Photography is, above all, a passion I hold dear. Thank you, and see you soon! 😉

Ce soir, j'ai vu des gens rire, s'aimer, aimer ceux qui gagnent, qui les protègent, qui les aident, les servent, les guident et j'ai aussi vu la réciproque à tout ça. Ce soir, les langues du Monde entier se mélangeaient pour ne former qu'une. Un jour, j'ai fait un rêve. Ce soir, ce rêve était une réalité.

Tu annonces sur TON mur que DXO fait -20% pour ses 20ans... (Merci DxO) et Facebook te supprime ta publication pour Spam et te menace de bloquer ton compte. C'est vrai que Facebook est assez réglo sur la quantité de Pub sur NOS murs🤬
Déjà que ce reseau pue le formol... Continuez dans ce sens pour voir partir ceux qui sont restés.🤢
