Delphine Diallo or Delphine Diaw Diallo (born 1977 in Paris) is a French-Senegalese photographer. She was originally based in Saint-Louis, Senegal but now works in New York City.

Biography

Diallo was born in 1977 to a Senegalese father and a French mother painter. She chose to study arts and graduated in Visual Arts from Académie Charpentier in Paris.[1][2] She subsequently worked in the music industry for seven years, before she launched into photography. She went to her country of origin and settled in Saint-Louis, the place of origin of her father. There, she established a photography studio and started taking photographs of her family for her first series named Renaissance.[3] The studio was named Magic in tribute to Malian photographer Malick Sidibé, who influenced Diallo's early works.

Diallo moved to New York City in 2008. She met Peter Beard, who showed interest for her creativity. They worked together on the Pirelli Calendar in Botswana.[4][5]

In 2012, Diallo was listed among the 26 emerging photographers by the ICP, among the emerging stars of photography by Smithsonian, and in 2013 among the 30 emerging photographers by Photo District News.[6][4]
