30 Pictures Showing The Diversity In Father-Child Relationships Around The Globe By This Photographer
Interview With Artist
Today, we would like to share with you another project by Gabriele Galimberti, an Italian photographer and author of many meaningful photo series. This time, he captured fathers around the world in moments spent together with their children. Inspired by his own childhood experiences, Galimberti aimed to showcase the diverse ways parents build their relationships and bonds with their kids. Galimberti shared his memories: “The year is 1986. I am eight-and-a-half years old and I’m getting ready for bed. I’m very excited for the morning to arrive. That’s because, in just a few hours, something will happen that’s been happening almost every Sunday for the last year. I’ll feel my father’s hand on my shoulder, shaking me awake as his voice says, ‘Gabri, wake up! It’s six o’clock. We’re going fishing.’”
We recommend visiting Gabriele’s website to access more information about this project and to read the stories behind each photograph. Additionally, if you missed the previous Bored Panda articles about this photographer, we invite you to check them out. The series "Toy Stories" showcased children from over 50 countries and their favorite toys, while "In Her Kitchen" featured stunning portraits of grandmothers from all over the world with their signature dishes.

So glad the dad in this photo is intelligent enough to have his child wear protective breathing equipment. Aerosol particles are not good!

Oh that looks familiar. Dad taught me how to play pool in his local when I was 9. I still go there to drink with him when I visit.

What program are they watching with such intensity?

Chung is the family name, which is listed first in many Asian cultures. These people would be called by their first names (Mang Che, Jui Han, Kai Eing, and Jia Ying).

For some reason the USA ones where the ones that felt like the dads where angry or something. Except the beach one.

Almost all, lovely-looking fathers, which is beautiful but so not representing the range of diversity. Where's my dad? The only one I might relate to is number 30.
