Remi Chauvin
Paris, France
Rémi Chauvin (b. 1985, Australia) graduated with degrees in journalism and fine arts, majoring in photography from the University of Tasmania in 2010. He immediately started working as a photographer for the largest Tasmanian newspaper The Mercury, and soon thereafter was employed full-time as the senior photographer for Mona (Museum of Old and New Art), where he remained for six years.
Rémi’s images have been frequently published across Australia’s largest media outlets such as The Guardian, The Australian, The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Monthly, The Saturday Paper and Crikey, and have graced the arts pages of various news organisations across the globe, such as The New York Times, BBC, Time and Vice.
His work at Mona regularly involved the documentation of exhibitions held at the museum for the production of high-end commercial exhibition catalogues, of which he has done for the likes of Marina Abramović.
Through his freelance work, Rémi has been commissioned by The Guardian for feature stories on the effects of climate change on low-lying atolls in the Pacific, and on the incarceration of refugees on Nauru by Australia, amongst other smaller commissions.
He has been a finalist in various prizes such as the National Photographic Portraiture Prize, the Moran Contemporary Photography Prize, the Head On Photography Portrait & Landscape prizes, and has exhibited within the Head On Photography Festival in Australia, and internationally as a part of PhotoWerk in Berlin.
In 2013 he was selected to do a documentary photography workshop with James Nachtwey and Stephen Dupont in Sydney, Australia.
In 2017, after six years at the helm of photography at Mona, Rémi is now based in Europe and focusing on documentary photography.
He is available for commissions worldwide.

The Lost Catch
Remi Chauvin
Lying roughly halfway between Hawaii and Australia, Kiribati is an atoll nation with an ocean the size of the United States that stretches across all four hemispheres. Within its waters are some of the most abundant fishing grounds in the world that are being plundered by foreign trawlers, resulting in dangerously low fish stocks and a local population struggling to survive.
Persepolis Now
Remi Chauvin
After the election of moderate reformist Hassan Rouhani in 2013, many Iranians welcomed the shift to a more progressive government. But with limited powers under the Supreme Leader, will Iran remain a brutal theocracy, or will the country open up?
