Bio

Peter DiCampo (b. 1984) is an American photographer who divides his time between Africa and the Americas. He launched his freelance career in 2007 while also serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in rural Ghana. Before living in Ghana, he was a Staff Photographer at The Telegraph in Nashua, New Hampshire, and interned at VII Photo in Paris, Newsday in New York, and the Harvard University News Office. He holds a B.S. in Photojournalism from Boston University. In June 2010, Peter joined the VII Mentor Program.

As the media landscape shifts and the role of photojournalism becomes less defined, Peter prides himself on using his pictures to further educational initiatives and cultural awareness. His photography has been used in educational programs in the U.S. and Africa, funded by or in partnership with Peace Corps, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, Rotary International, and the Friends of Ghana Society. In 2009, he was awarded a grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and was a finalist for the Open Society Institute’s Documentary Photography Distribution Grant.

Peter has received awards from Lens Culture, Editor & Publisher, New England Press Association, Boston University, and Ekvilib Institute.
