A Solitary Commute
DESCRIPTION
In the early morning, Brickell, Miami’s financial hub, is bathed in soft golden light. Amidst the tranquility, a lone figure walks to work along the usually bustling avenue. The quiet streets witness the dedication of early risers, capturing a moment of calm determination before the day’s rush. AUTHOR
Self-taught photographer and traveler, Thibault Gerbaldi has self-published seven books across five continents. His work earned top honors at Siena, PX3, TPOTY, Monovision, and more. In 2025, three of his images were selected for Leica’s centennial exhibit in Wetzlar, chosen from over one million submissions. Featured in LFI, All About Photo, and LENS Magazine, his photography captures emotion, resilience, and the quiet strength of everyday life. A board member since 2019, he funds solidarity projects through donations linked to the dissemination of his books and photographic prints, outside of any commercial framework.
