As a photographer, Hibi has earned international acclaim with his three books published by Nazraeli Press. His world-class work has appeared in museums, gallery shows and private collections worldwide; as well as in permanent collections, including the Santa Barbara Museum. Influential art and photography critic Vince Aletti said that Hibi’s work draws on “Robert Frank, Daido Moriyama, and the conventions of film noir". In a feature, The New York Times described Hibi's inspired mindset, when he photographed "the silence and solitude" of nighttime exteriors, as "a mental state akin to meditative ecstasy". Hibi currently lives and works in New York.
