​Dilmar M. Gamero S. is a Peruvian-born, Latino, Philadelphia-based visual artist and teacher trained at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru with studies in audiovisual communication, philosophy, theology, and art education. He has many years of experience in pedagogy, outreach, volunteering, and visual arts. He has specialized in documentary production, fine art photography, digital and alternative photographic processes. He received an MFA in Photography at Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, and a Ph.D. in Documentary Arts and Visual Research in the School of Theater, Film and Media Arts at Temple University, where he also teaches media arts and photography for filmmakers.
 
His primary focus over the last decade has been to document his personal interaction with the community of Paucartambo in the Peruvian Andes and its religious celebration (Mamacha Carmen), producing a richly illustrated book that intertwines digital tools and alternative traditional printing processes.
 
His Ph.D. research questions how the relationship between archived-based aesthetics and uncontrolled experimental photographic and new media processes transform the understandings of race, gender, social, and personal narratives.
