I am new to the work of G.G but I really love this style of documentation. Two of his projects that particularly stand out to me are 'Toy Stories' and 'Delicatessen with love'.
TOY STORIES.
“The richest children were more possessive. At the beginning, they
wouldn’t want me to touch their toys, and I would need more time before
they would let me play with them,” says the Italian, who would often
join in with a child’s games before arranging the toys and taking the
photograph. “In poor countries, it was much easier. Even if they only
had two or three toys, they didn’t really care. In Africa, the kids
would mostly play with their friends outside.” Ben Machell, The Time Magazine
DELICATESSEN WITH LOVE.
"Gabriele travelled around the world and, next to thousands of other
adventures, turned into a curious and hungry grandson for the grannies
of all the countries he visited. Appealing to their natural cooking
care and their inevitable pride in their best recipe, common factors to
all grandmothers in the world, Gabriele persuaded them to do their best
in the kitchen.... He has come back with a cookery book of detailed recipes that mix love,
photography and travel amongst the many exotic ingredients. Indeed,
each for each grandmother he has produced a portrait of the cook, and
easy to follow recipe and an image of the extraordinary and at times
mouthwatering final dish". Arianna Rinaldo
