Matthias Olmeta was born in 1968, and graduated in 1991 with a degree in visual art from the University of Santa Monica in Los Angeles. A great traveller, his experiences on his journeys allowed him to learn different photographic techniques.Today, he lives and works in Marseille and is interested in the Ambrotype technique which consists of applying negative film onto a glass plate with collodion (a sort of varnish), underexposed when photographed, then bleached. Placed on a black background, the image appears as a positive.
