THE INNER CHILD Gabriele Galimberti X Shot Magazine @gabrielegalimbertiphoto “The story of this project is quite simple: around 2011 I was working for an Italian magazine and I decided to couch-surf across 56 countries and be hosted by someone different each week. Before leaving for my journey, a friend phoned me asking if I would photograph her daughter, who at the time was 3 years old and lived in the countryside of my homeland Tuscany. When I arrived there she was, playing in the stables with her toys: a rake, a shovel, a wheel barrow. I remember being so impressed by her precision in ordering her toys, that I immediately had to take a photograph. Once I left for my travels I decided to do the same, so I started looking for children to photograph with their toys ordered around them. This project was born from a simple intuition. In the space of two years, I have photographed around 70-80 children with their toys and I still continue today, after ten years.” Link in bio
