Daniel Chauche’s Guatemala

Daniel Chauche, born to a French father and an American mother in 1951, found his true calling in photography. He studied art at the University of Florida where, in 1979, he earned a Masters degree in Fine Arts, which he then taught. At 25, Chauche moved to Guatemala. He arrived in late 1975 with his ex-wife, an anthropologist, and settled in Escuintla. Following the 1976 earthquake, they became deeply involved with the local community.
