Photography career
Gardi started working as a photographer for the daily newspaper Népszabadság around 2000.

[13] His photographs have appeared publications including Harper's Magazine, [14] National Geographic, [15] The New York Times, [16] [17] Wired, [18] Time, [19] Outside, [20] The Atlantic, [21] Newsweek, [22] [23] and The Guardian.

Gardi's series titled "Thirst," depicts human civilization in water stressed areas. [7] The Thirst series is part of Facing Water Crisis, Gardi's project documenting the impact of human population growth on water scarcity. [7] [9]
In 2010 and 2011, he documented the First Battalion, Eighth Marines, throughout their deployment in southern Afghanistan's war-torn deserts. [4] [5] In Afghanistan, Gardi also experimented with using an iPhone as his primary camera, publishing a photo essay in Foreign Policy titled "The War in Hipstamatic". [5] [6]
In 2011, Gardi travelled to rural KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa to document the communities who live there. [25] His work there was supported by a Magnum Foundation Fund grant. [25]
The Storm, a body of work Gardi created during the aftermath of the 2020 U.S. presidential election working alongside writer Luke Mogelson for The New Yorker , was a finalist for the 11th cycle of Prix Pictet Award. [26] [27]
