Gabriele Galimberti photographs children with their toys in his book Toy Stories: Photos of Children From Around the World and Their Favorite Things (PHOTOS). Gabriele Galimberti/INSTITUTE If photographer Gabriele Galimberti has learned anything photographing children around the world with their favorite toys, it’s that kids, no matter their circumstances, love to play.
Galimberti was working on a separate project documenting couch surfers for the Italian magazine D, la Repubblica when he got the idea to make portraits of children with their most prized possessions. All the children he photographed in his book, Toy Stories: Photos of Children From Around the World and Their Favorite Things, are somehow connected to the couch surfers who hosted him. “I think my work just shows how different we are in the world, how differently we can live, and how differently our children play depending on where they are born,” he said via email. For three years, Galimberti photographed children in 58 countries from the U.S. to India to Iceland. Sony world photography awards - professional shortlist.
