30 Pictures Showing The Diversity In Father-Child Relationships Around The Globe By This Photographer

The project "Fathers" is another photo series inspired by some personal experiences of Galimberti. In the previously mentioned "In Her Kitchen," the photographer paid tribute to his grandmother and the very special relationship between them. He decided to travel across the world to explore the diversity of dishes prepared by other grandmothers and the same feeling the women put into what they do for their loved ones. While speaking about the series, Gabriele shared with us: “The one thing that really connects them all is the love they use to nourish their grandchildren. That may be the true common ingredient of all of these recipes.”

Giving more details regarding the series featuring parents with their children, the photographer continued the story about his fishing ritual with his own father:  “For over a year, ever since my mom gave my dad a little fishing boat, this has been our Sunday routine – my father and I, alone or sometimes with friends, head out to Lake Trasimeno. It’s a day just for us, a day of waiting, of talking, and of long silences. Luckily, the bursts of good cheer over the catch of a fish aren’t too few or far between.”

The author of the series mentioned that despite the passing time, the most vivid memories he has from his childhood that connect to his father are those when they spent time together while fishing. Galimberti points out that his father keeps the weekly tradition even now and still goes fishing almost every Sunday. He added: “As for me – maybe because I’m hardly ever home, perhaps because, when I am, I’m too lazy to get up at six in the morning – I haven’t gone with him for many years. Now it’s my brother-in-law and nephew’s turn to go fishing with him.”

With all that being said, Gabriele Galimberti decided to start his series "Fathers," documenting the relationships dads around the globe have with their precious children:  “Wherever I am in the world, when I meet a father I ask him to tell me about a special moment he has spent with his children and, when I can, I photograph them together.” This way, again, we can see a range of various activities, but also still moments when nothing else has to be done because the time the parents spend with their children is a great value on its own.
