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.
