Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi is a Brooklyn-based Romanian-Iraqi photographer whose work explores the human condition in contexts of conflict, humanitarian crisis, and social upheaval. Her photography has been featured by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and Le Monde, as well as by organizations including Doctors Without Borders and UNICEF. Her awards include LensCulture's Top 50 Emerging Talents (2014), the ICRC Humanitarian Visa d'Or Award (2015), PDN's 30 New and Emerging Photographers to Watch (2018), and American Photography/AP41 (2025).

Born in rural Romania to a Romanian mother and Iraqi father, Alhindawi experienced displacement early in life when her family became refugees, first in the former Yugoslavia and later resettling in Canada. These formative experiences led her to work in humanitarian aid and human rights, holding management and research roles with organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme, Save the Children, and Oxfam in conflict-and disaster-affected regions. In 2013, she shifted her professional focus to photography.

Alhindawi holds a BA in Economics and a BA in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University, and has completed all but her thesis for an MA in International Development. She speaks English, French, Spanish and Romanian.
