Fotógrafo • París, Francia

Nicolas Guérin (1970–2023) fue un fotógrafo francés conocido por sus íntimos retratos en blanco y negro de grandes figuras del cine internacional. Nacido en Béthune (Francia), estudió filosofía e historia del cine en la Sorbona antes de aprender fotografía de forma autodidacta, una formación poco habitual que acabó definiendo el carácter reflexivo y cinematográfico de su obra.

Durante más de dos décadas, Guérin fotografió a actores y directores en grandes festivales de cine como Cannes, Berlín y Venecia, a menudo para la revista francesa de cine *Positif*. Entre sus retratados figuran Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Tilda Swinton, Nicole Kidman, Clint Eastwood, Philip Seymour Hoffman y muchos otros. En lugar de centrarse en la fama, buscaba los momentos más tranquilos y creaba retratos personales, cuidados y psicológicamente cercanos.

Además de su trabajo en el cine, Guérin desarrolló una obra de fotografía artística que incluye retratos, desnudos y proyectos más personales, unidos por una gran sensibilidad hacia la luz, el gesto y la presencia humana.

Nicolas Guérin falleció en 2023. Hoy, su hija Marilou Guérin cuida y desarrolla su legado artístico y trabaja con el archivo para que sus fotografías sigan llegando a nuevos públicos y coleccionistas. The PhotoGallery colabora estrechamente con Marilou y con el legado de Nicolas Guérin, y presenta ediciones limitadas autorizadas de su archivo.

    Descubre el mundo de Nicolas Guérin

    En un festival de cine, un fotógrafo dispone de cuatro minutos, a veces de ocho, con alguien que ya ha concedido doce entrevistas ese día. Nicolas Guérin lleva más de dos décadas trabajando en esas condiciones como fotógrafo de la revista cinematográfica francesa POSITIF, en París, Cannes, Berlín y Venecia. Tilda Swinton, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Meryl Streep, Max von Sydow y Nick Cave aparecen todos aquí.

    Estudió filosofía y después historia del cine en la Sorbona y aprendió fotografía por su cuenta con libros, que ha dicho que fueron sus únicos maestros. Desde que abrió un estudio en Montreuil en 2010, su trabajo se ha vuelto más personal, y ese aspecto también está representado aquí, en Atacama, Menorca, Treats y Emotions.
