About the Photographer

Florence Gautier joined OVO on the field in Benin, capturing the energy, dignity, and creativity of local entrepreneurs. Her photographs reflect authentic encounters — moments of light, resilience, and shared humanity. She nurtures a taste for the elsewhere — a curiosity for humankind. Camera slung over her shoulder, eyes wide open, Florence Gautier seeks the beauty of a world that is not always kind.


Black and white, color — her images are open-hearted pages, stories of the magic of a meeting, of humanity revealed, inside and out. The journey of this self-taught photographer knows no end, no borders. India, Benin, Indonesia, South Africa, La Rochelle… She lays bare our shared humanity, inviting us to feel emotion in its purest form — here and everywhere.

 

Each of her works has been printed in limited edition, using a unique artisanal process that makes every piece one of a kind.

To celebrate 25 years of Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs (OVO), we are organizing a Solidarity Art Auction featuring 15 exceptional photographs captured in Africa by Florence Gautier.

 

These artworks were printed using a rare artisanal technique, in Bali, where each image is hand-processed in paint baths — creating unique, limited-edition prints.

 

All proceeds from the auction will directly support African entrepreneurs developing sustainable and impactful businesses through OVO’s programs.
