Fotograf • Paris, Frankrike

Nicolas Guérin (1970–2023) var en fransk fotograf känd för sina nära, svartvita porträtt av ledande namn inom internationell film. Han föddes i Béthune i Frankrike och studerade filosofi och filmhistoria vid Sorbonne innan han lärde sig fotografera på egen hand, en ovanlig bakgrund som kom att prägla den eftertänksamma och filmiska karaktären i hans bilder.

Under mer än två decennier fotograferade Guérin skådespelare och regissörer på stora filmfestivaler som Cannes, Berlin och Venedig, ofta för den franska filmtidskriften *Positif*. Bland hans motiv fanns Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Tilda Swinton, Nicole Kidman, Clint Eastwood, Philip Seymour Hoffman och många fler. I stället för att fokusera på kändisskapet sökte han de stillsammare ögonblicken och skapade porträtt som känns personliga, genomarbetade och psykologiskt nära.

Vid sidan av filmvärlden byggde Guérin upp ett konstnärligt verk med porträtt, aktstudier och mer personliga projekt, sammanhållna av en lyhördhet för ljus, gester och mänsklig närvaro.

Nicolas Guérin gick bort 2023. I dag förvaltar och utvecklar hans dotter Marilou Guérin hans konstnärliga arv och arbetar med arkivet för att hans fotografier ska nå nya publiker och samlare. The PhotoGallery har ett nära samarbete med Marilou och Nicolas Guérins dödsbo och visar auktoriserade, begränsade upplagor från hans arkiv.

    Upptäck världen av Nicolas Guérin

    På en filmfestival får en fotograf fyra minuter, ibland åtta, med någon som redan har gett tolv intervjuer den dagen. Nicolas Guérin har arbetat under dessa förhållanden i över två decennier som fotograf för den franska filmtidskriften POSITIF, i Paris, Cannes, Berlin och Venedig. Tilda Swinton, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Meryl Streep, Max von Sydow och Nick Cave finns alla med här.

    Han studerade filosofi och sedan filmhistoria vid Sorbonne och lärde sig fotografi själv genom böcker, som han har sagt var hans enda lärare. Sedan han öppnade en studio i Montreuil 2010 har arbetet blivit mer personligt, och den sidan av det representeras också här, i Atacama, Menorca Treats and Emotions.
