Jean Guichard
Jean Guichard is a French photographer known for his images of lighthouses. One series of seven pictures, titled "La Jument", is world-famous; it depicts the French lighthouse "La Jument" in a tempest; a wave is about to engulf the lighthouse as its keeper, Théodore Malgorne, thinking Guichard's was the rescue helicopter, looks out the open door.
