I am a documentary and lifestyle photographer based in Finistère, France. I travel for work.
I photograph real people doing real things, mostly on film. For brands, that means pictures that look like life, not like an ad.
Feel free to contact me at hello@yannickschutz.com.
If you are looking for me, you’ll probably find me brewing a cup of black coffee, surfing some mellow waves, capturing moments on film or spending some quality time with the family.
We launched an amazing project with Cloé. You should take a look at @douarenn or visit douarenn.fr. This is our cabin, disconnected from the internets in the middle of Finistère, in a place called “les Monts d’Arrée”.
Work with me
I work with brands and magazines on campaigns, lookbooks and editorial stories, in Brittany or wherever the job is. Recently: a collab with TWOTHIRDS.
Write to hello@yannickschutz.com with a few lines about the project.
More about working with me (en français).
This website has so much more in it than what you see in the menu. Feel free to browse and see what I am doing now
Photography
Current gear:
I send most of my films to Malvarrosa Film Lab. They are great and have a really good service.
Surf
I started taking pictures in the water with some fins and a Nikonos. Salty water is my favorite kind of drug. I got my first longboard shaped by Mimosa. It is a beauty. But I am still a kook. But at least a kook with a damn good looking board. I try to avoid Neoprene and prefer Yulex
Coffee
I love a good cup of coffee. Using v60, Kalita or origami. My heart says stop but I keep drinking it. We got an espresso machine cause it is hard to get a good flat white around here but my latte art sucks. It is good enough.
Most of my coffee beans comes from Miche Coffee & Horizon Café, a cave à café. But I still like to try new roasters from time to time. Looking for suggestions
Writing
I am writing a small letter in french about all and nothing every two weeks. It is quite delightful. It forces me to write on a regular basis. I don’t have many readers but they respond to those letters. So that makes me happy.
Prints
Prints come from Ooblik & Négatif+. I soldout my first zine with Ex Why Zed but you can find other fun stuff I printed on the shop.
