Nicolas Gaurin is a cinematographer.
"In 1978, I received a Kodak instamatic, a beginning. The first photos will pave the way for my journey. As a child, I would photograph the world around me, Lego constructions sitting on my window sill or my grandmother from the back, walking down the street taken from the living room window.
Photography allows me to partly keep my own outlook, a part of childhood, free of any professional constraint.
Photography is a way for me to venture off the beaten path. It allows me to slip away at any time, in total freedom. I don’t necessarily look to make a photograph with a unique lighting, even if I’m sensitive to that, but it’s more about capturing an instant of everyday life, which bears no great importance and yet becomes essential in photographic form.”
