He has received several international awards for his work, including first place in the PX3 Awards, the International Photography Awards, and WPGA Pollux Awards, as well as 2nd place in CENTER’s 2011 Editor’s Choice awards and 1st runner-up in Blurb’s Photography Book Now 2011 contest. He also won the 1st prize in the Fine art e-book category in the 2012 Fotoweek DC contest, was a Finalist for the prestigious Fotovisura Grant and the Magnum Expression Award, has been three times a finalist for the Renaissance Photography Prize, and was selected for American Photography 28 and 31. John Szarkowski said of Garry Winogrand that “his ambition was not to make good pictures, but through photography to know life”. This statement perfectly describes Dimitri's photographic aspirations as well.
