French, b.1967
Denis Guichot was born in Pau, in the South-West of France. He began photographing during his teens developing his b/w pictures at the local photo lab. For many years, his passion for music did not allow him to work very much with photography. In 1999, he went back to studying and obtained his Arts Degree in Information and Communication from the University of Paris 8. He then attended various photography classes at the Atelier da Imagem, the foremost school of photography in Rio de Janeiro.

Denis Guichot was based in London, Paris and Rio de Janeiro before moving to the French cities of Lyon and currently Strasbourg. He has travelled extensively to South and Central America, India, the United States and Europe. Always keen on immersing himself in the culture of the places he visits, he attemps to present them from a fresh visual or cultural perspective.

His work has been shown in various places. Recently, he's somehow managed to link both his passions --music and photography-- with a projection of his work on Brazil during live concerts at the Divan du Monde theatre in Paris.

Denis Guichot is a member of the UPC--Union des Photographes Créateurs
