We Long to Escape (12 photos)

Fashion photographer Jacques Olivar seems to understand the plight of the modern man. Never quite content with where we are and always longing for something better, we seek to escape our troubled lives. With beautiful pops of color and models that look like they could be Milla Jovovich's alien sisters, Oliver creates intriguing stories that are only enhanced by the strong styling. In fact, you're often left wondering if you're looking at a still shot of a movie, where the hero or heroine is caught in between worlds, carefully contemplating a life changing choice.
