Born in 1991 in Silinkine, Casamance, Senegal, Baba Diedhiou is a renowned photographer and video artist. A graduate of CIAC in Dakar and ESAV in Marrakech, he now teaches at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Dakar and works at the Centre Culturel Régional Blaise Senghor. Originally set for a career in professional football, a severe accident shifted his path to photography. Baba's work captures themes of team spirit, solidarity, and beauty, deeply rooted in Senegalese culture. He has exhibited widely, was a finalist for the Premi for Photography in Spain, and represented Senegal at the Jeux de la Francophonie.
