About Artist

Thibault Gerbaldi

Hello, I am thibault! As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes. Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need. Through the sale of books and prints, I aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by communities in developing countries and contribute to meaningful projects. Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me. 1st Prize B&W LifeFramer 2023 2nd Prize Winner PX3 Photo Awards 2024 Grand Winner Travel Photography B&W Awards 2024 1st Prize Portrait and Travel Refocus Award 2024 Curatorial Selection PX3 State of the World 2024 2x Silver Medal Landscape & Documentary B&W awards 2024 2x Gold Winner PX3 Photo Awards 2024 Travel & Portrait 2nd Prize Street Photography Monovision Awards 2024 Silver Winner PX3 2023 Nature 7x 2nd Prize Nature /People / Travel / Landscapes / Event / Portrait / Photojournalism Refocus Award 2024 5x People's Vote Award Refocus Award 3rd Place Winner Fine Art Photography Award 2024 5x Bronze Medal Portrait Masters Awards 2024 4x Bronze Winner PX3 2023 Finalist Independent Photographer People 2023 Among the 25 winners AAP Women 2024 Editors pick Independent Photographer Visual Stories 2024 Nominated Vienna Foto Awards Night Photography 2024 17 nominations Fine Art Photography Award 2024 21 Honorable Mentions PX3 2024 42 Leica Mastershots 135 Leica Selections Exhibit Leica Miami in 2023 Exhibit @ The Icon LA 2024 Exhibit Venezia 2024 Exhibit Paris PX3 2024
