From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Parisian photographer Dani Olivier uses the human body as a canvas, creating geometric, kaleidoscopic patterns and projecting them onto skin, the resulting portraits turning their corporeal subjects into trippy, futuristic landscapes.
“A woman’s body is eternal,” Olivier told HuffPost. “For ten thousand years, it has had the same curves, the same shape, the same rhythm and it is something to admire. I developed my technique with models about eight years ago. I knew there was a lot of potential after I experimented with a few lights and designs.
“The female body is beautiful, and I am working to produce beautiful images.”
The shots are carefully composed, but occasionally the models’ natural movements will result in unusual and interesting contortions of the projections.
“Most of the time, it is my design and work that is projected amongst the bodies of these women,” Olivier added, “but I often get inspired when they take part in the creative process- when they initiate new curves, new movement in space and ultimately, a new image.”
