Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi uses photography to explore the human condition across various political and cultural contexts. Based out of Brooklyn, USA, Diana works internationally in areas experiencing conflict, social unrest or humanitarian emergencies. Her photography has been published and showcased by media outlets like the New York Times newspaper and Magazine, The Sunday Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Al Jazeera America, Le Monde, CNN, National Geographic Traveler, Vice Magazine, Geo Germany, Newsweek, Toronto Star and Paris Match, and international NGOs like Doctors without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières, Save the Children, Human Rights Watch and International Committee of the Red Cross. (For a complete list of clients, see below.) In 2014, she was named one of Lens Culture's Top 50 Emerging Talents for 2014. In 2015, she received the ICRC Humanitarian Visa d'Or Award for her coverage of the Minova Rape Trial, eastern Congo's most significant mass rape trial to date. In 2018, she was named one of PDN's 30 New and Emerging Photographers to Watch For.
Diana's interests reflect her multicultural background and upbringing: born in rural Romania to a Romanian mother and Iraqi father, Diana witnessed her family experience political circumstances that landed them as refugees in the former Yugoslavia, after which they were resettled to Canada. These early experiences led her to pursue careers in humanitarian aid and in human rights. For several years, she held management and research positions with organizations such as UN Development Programme, Save the Children and Oxfam, working on the ground in areas affected by conflict or natural disasters. In mid-2013, she decided to focus her professional efforts on photography.
Diana holds two BA degrees – one in Economics and one in Neuroscience – from The Johns Hopkins University, and has completed all but her thesis for a MA degree in International Development from American University, School of International Service.
