About me

Guillaume Lechat (pronounced Gee-yohm le Sha) is a French photographer who has been documenting life from behind the lens for more than 10 years. His images are free and based on spontaneity. "To me, a lot of natural light is really important, a lot of movement, and a lot of honesty." He always aims to bring a positive energy to shoots and wants everyone to feel involved but relaxed - and most importantly have fun!

Myself, my wife - who is almost 8 months pregnant - and our two year old are stuck in the UK unable to return to the US due to the travel ban. In order to provide a little income for our family we have opened a print shop to sell our prints - We would be so grateful if people could share! www.lechatprintshop.com
