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.
As the media landscape shifts and the role of photojournalism becomes less defined, DiCampo 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 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.
DiCampo's photography and multimedia work has been published by Time, MSNBC, Vanity Fair, The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe, The Christian Science Monitor, BusinessWeek, BBC News, The Carter Center, and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, among others.
