Olivier Goy is passionate about photography and, with his wife Virginie, created the photo4food foundation (housed at the Institut de France) with the mission of fighting poverty in France through photography.

He has been practicing photography himself for ten years, using it as a tool to campaign against poverty and fund medical research. His “photo for donation” operation for his series of photographs in Antarctica raised over 1.3 million euros for the Brain Institute (ICM).
