PETER POULIDES
Founder and Executive Director, Dallas Center for Photography
Peter Poulides is the founder and executive director of the Dallas Center for Photography (DCP). Peter earned a degree in TV & Film Production from the University of North Texas and worked as an educational video producer before pursuing his dream of being a travel photographer.
He began shooting for Travel & Leisure magazine which then led to an over-a-decade-long photography career working with the likes of Smithsonian Magazine, Food and Wine, American Airlines, Forbes, Fortune, Business Week, New York Times, Exxon, Frito Lay, and Texaco. In the 90s, he transitioned to shooting stock photography and became a top selling producer for Getty Images.
Currently, Peter spends his time teaching photography where he believes he has more of an impact than he had when producing images for publication. He is excited about the recent conversion of DCP to a 501c3 nonprofit and the opening of their new photography gallery. As a nonprofit, DCP will be connecting more deeply with the community to help both creators and appreciators explore the power of photography
