Basé entre Paris et Biarritz, Gautier Chauffrut est photographe. Ses sujets sont divers et variés et son travail est aussi bien commercial qu’éditorial. Une chose ne change cependant jamais : son esthétique soignée et élégante.
I’m Gautier Chauffrut, a photographer driven by a passion for lifestyle, hospitality, and the art of travel.
Entirely self-taught, I found my way into photography through countless journeys abroad—a restless need for adventure, for discovery, for connection. Each trip became a quest: to observe, to meet, and ultimately to translate fleeting moments into images that tell a story. Guided by light, composition, and a love for the genuine, I strive to capture the soul of a place, the poetry of an atmosphere, the emotion of an instant.
Based between Paris and Biarritz, I follow the light wherever it leads me—across France and beyond.
Collaborating with hotels and restaurants, I help elevate their identity and visibility through evocative visuals that invite guests to experience their world. My images are designed not just to showcase, but to inspire and spark desire.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me:
riding a wave somewhere on a surfboard,
suspended mid-air on a pole vault bar,
or off-grid in my van, chasing that elusive golden light.
My work is an invitation: to see, to feel, and to wander.

My vision is shaped by a life lived in motion. From years spent exploring the raw expanses of Australia to the relentless energy of Paris, my eye has learned to find balance in duality. Whether it’s the "dream-like" lifestyle of Biarritz or the quiet intensity of Japan, I have cultivated the art of observing a space until it feels like home.
As a surfer, the ocean is an essential part of my being; it is where I go to clear my mind. This lifelong fascination led to my personal project, SURFACE, a visual exploration of the water’s skin. It is a study of movement and stillness—blending deep oceanic blues with the warm, golden light of a summer morning.
Today, I translate this sensitivity into Editorial, Fashion, and Hospitality projects. I chase the same symmetry in every frame: the beauty of a contrast, the glow of the golden hour through a window, and the authentic truth of a fleeting moment.
Based between Paris and Biarritz. Available worldwide for editorial and commercial commissions.
