David Himbert
Hans Lucas
Montreal, QC, Canada
With a degree in photography obtained in Chalon-sur-Saône (France), David Himbert is an independent photographer based in Montréal since 1999. Passionate about international policy, he has a special interest in the balance of power, paying close attention since 2011 to the transition period started in Cuba, where the Castro revolution appears to be gradually giving way to a market economy.
He is also a boxing enthusiast, a sport he considers as one of humanity’s last protected areas where, away from trends and appearances, a man openly and frankly reveals himself in a rare moment of respect and truth.
In 2017, David Himbert received in Montréal a Lux - Infopresse prize, in the “Photo reportage/News” category, for his work on the Cuban people during Fidel Castro’s funerals.
in 2018, he won a Silver Award in the “Photojournalism and Photo Essay” category of the 41st Annual National Magazine Awards (Canada).
David collaborates with various Canadian and foreign media (Mediapart, L'Obs, Dissent Magazine, 6 Mois, Le Devoir, L'Inconvénient, Urbania, Huffington Post, L'Itinéraire, Le Point, Marianne, El Paìs, Politis, etc.) and is represented in Paris by Hans Lucas Studio (partner of AFP).
