Artistic Approach

Claude Gauthier approaches portrait photography as an intimate dialogue between emotion, light, and gaze. His method is grounded in a refined aesthetic pursuit and a strong sensitivity to the human element, where each image becomes a space for reflection on the condition and presence of the individual. By relying on simple settings, carefully composed framing, and expertly controlled natural light, he highlights the truth in the faces he photographs. His work stands out for its gentle, almost contemplative atmosphere, and for its ability to reveal the emotional depth of his subjects with sincerity and delicacy.
