Guillaume took his first photographs at the age of twelve, just like his great-grandfather before him. He began by capturing his family and close friends. Photography soon became a vital need, a natural language. After graduating, he enrolled in a photography school to refine his craft.

Later, Guillaume joined one of the most prestigious studios in Paris, where he worked alongside legendary photographers of the 1980s such as Arthur Elgort, Lord Snowdon, Laurence Sackman, Pamela Hanson, and Bill King. During this period, he also organized his first exhibition, “Stridence”, in Paris.

In 1990, he began working independently between Milan and Paris, collaborating with major fashion and beauty magazines and clients including Marie Claire UK, Vogue Spain, Cosmopolitan, Grazia, L’Officiel, Madame Figaro, Dry UK, Biba, Zadig & Voltaire, Lancôme, Armani, L’Oréal, Furterer,Perrier, Rémy Martin.

His search for the perfect movement naturally led him to photograph dancers in improvisation. He followed for years the work of Carolyn Carlson’s company and dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet.

He also taught photography workshops at EFTI in Madrid, sharing his passion, technical expertise, and his vision of authentic, minimally retouched photography. Gradually, his work evolved toward a more reportage-style approach — spontaneous and rooted in the life of real, vibrant urban neighborhoods.

Guillaume’s photographic work has been exhibited internationally:

• “Motion” – Théâtre Toursky, Marseille (2004)
• “Looking Around” – Beijing (2009)
• “Urban Tutu” – with étoile Marie-Agnès Gillot, Paris Opera (2011)
• “The Real & The Rough” – Milan
