guillaume gaudet
Guillaume Gaudet started photography as a way to capture fleeting memories. Largely self-taught, he did not plan to become a photographer, let alone imagine that he could pursue it as a career.
After moving to New York, he fell in love with the city, which became a great source of inspiration for him to shoot on the streets. Guillaume’s favorite photographers and role models are Fan Ho and Elliott Erwitt, both well-known for capturing candid everyday urban street life.
One thing led to another and Guillaume’s work became so sought-after that he decided to pursue it full-time. It has been 6 years now. To him, composition and story-telling are crucial aspects of photography. Even when he shoots fashion, he always tries to tell a story.
New York is a great source of inspiration for many dream chasers and Guillaume has been based here for some time. He lives in Queens, and his multi-ethnic neighborhood consists of Latinos, Irish, Korean, Chinese, Romanians, and even Nepalese. It is this cultural diversity that makes up the New York flavor. This is the same for the New York way of life — there is no one way to live in the city but one thing is common: you have to work hard to survive, and you need to deserve your place.
