Best known for his reportages in black and white, Dario Mitidieri began his photographic career in 1987 for the Sunday Telegraph and, since its launch, for The Indipendent. In May 1989, Dario flew to China to document the peaceful demonstration of students in Tiananmen Square and what followed; for this work he won the British Press Photographer of the Year. In 1994, after a year of work, he published the book Children of Bombay, a witness on the lives of street children in Bombay, translated into six languages. Later, Dario captured some of the most significant events of our time, the conflict in Northern Ireland, the war in Iraq, the last race of the pilot Ayrton Senna, and worked on other projects including Children in Wars, Charismatic Evangelism across the world and Teenage Pregnancy in the UK. Dario was awarded with the prestigious The Eugene Smith Award in Humanistic Photography, prize that allowed him to document the children of Bombay for one year. He regularly collaborates with many NGOs. He lives in London with his wife Petra and has four children.
