Diego Fedele is an Italian freelance photographer currently based in Melbourne, Australia. After graduating from a Scientific-Technological Institute, he attended a documentary photography course at the "WSP Photography" in Rome, and it is where his photographic journey started. In 2022, Diego was selected for the Eddie Adams Workshop XXXV edition in New York. His projects focus on the human spirit and response in the face of war and hardship. When the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine started, he travelled several times through Ukraine to understand the conflict and what people were enduring, committed to a long-term observation of the consequences of the war.
Diego is also a stringer to Australian Associated Press and Getty Images, covering news and politics. His work has been featured in several national and international newspapers and magazines such as The Guardian, Newsweek, Time, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc.
Diego completed the RedR Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) in February 2022. He is also a member of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ).
Diego Fedele pays his respect to the Traditional Owners of the land where he currently lives, the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation to their ancestors and elders past, present, and emerging.
