Gabriele Galimberti (born 1977) is an award-winning Italian photographer based in Milan who has spent the last few years working on long-term documentary photography projects around the world, as well as on assignments for international magazines and newspapers such as National Geographic, The Sunday Times, Stern, GEO, Le Monde, La Repubblica and Marie Claire.

Life and work
Gabriele Galimberti was born in 1977 in Castiglion Fiorentino (Tuscany), Italy. He committed to documentary photography after starting out as a commercial photographer, and after joining the artistic collective and publisher Riverboom with Michel and Claude Baechtold, Paolo Woods and Edoardo Delille.

Galimberti's work mainly consists of telling the stories, though portraits and short stories of people around the world, recounting their peculiarities and differences. Social media is a fundamental part of the research needed to get in touch and produce those stories. He is currently traveling around the world, working on both solo and collective projects, some of which have become books, such as Toy Stories, In Her Kitchen, My Couch Is Your Couch, The Heavens (in collaboration with the photographer Paolo Woods) and The Ameriguns.

Galimberti's pictures have been exhibited in shows worldwide, including Les Rencontres d'Arles (France), the Festival Images Vevey (Switzerland) and the V&A Museum in London (United Kingdom).

In 2016 Galimberti became a National Geographic photographer and regularly works for the magazine.

In 2021 he has been honoured with the World Press Photo award (Portraits Stories Category) with "The Ameriguns".
