Prints by Jean Guichard. Stunning photos of lighthouses in the storm
Jean Guichard is a French photographer who, since the 1980s, has specialised in photos of lighthouses in a storm, first in Brittany and then around the world. These shots are mostly taken from a helicopter and depict gigantic waves crashing into lighthouses in the middle of the ocean.
The iconic photo of Jean Guichard, the one that made him famous all over the world, is the one of the lighthouse La Jument, a shot taken in 1989 in which the keeper of the lighthouse can be seen on the point of being submerged by a wave of impressive dimensions (in reality, the keeper came out of the lighthouse because he was intrigued by the noise of the helicopter during the storm, and he just got the time to go back in before the wave swept him away).
Posters and prints on canvas have been made from this photo. It is undoubtedly Jean Guichard's best known shot, but it is by no means the full extent of his production.
Over the years, Guichard has taken numerous photos of lighthouses in Brittany and elsewhere, often in very difficult conditions, with stormy seas, strong winds and huge waves.
These are impressive shots, very scenic and with a strong impact, always much sought after as sea paintings by fans of the genre.
