Brodie Curtsinger, 21, is a visual journalist from Mount Washington, Kentucky. He is currently a Western Kentucky University senior majoring in photojournalism and minoring in psychology. He is currently a photographer for WKU’s student life and culture magazine, the Talisman, as well as its web visuals. During his 2025 spring semester though, he held the role of being the Talisman’s magazine photo editor. Curtsinger has also completed two summer internships: a photography fellowship at the Evansville Living magazine (2025), as well as a photojournalism internship with DTID Domino’s, a Domino’s franchise (2024).

Although, his start in visual journalism dates back to October 2019; it was then that he had a camera shoved into his hands as a staff writer for the Bullitt East High School Livewire newsmagazine and website. Despite being terrified, Curtsinger thought he’d give visual journalism a try. Sure enough, that decision changed his life, because he then made the decision to pursue it as his career on Jan. 11, 2020. Throughout his over five years of being involved in journalism, Curtsinger has told many stories through his multimedia. He is looking forward to the many more stories that he will tell as well as his future growth, as he continues his career in the field.

In Curtsinger’s downtime, he enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring new cuisines, traveling to new places, learning more about his favorite animal — the duck — and researching into the field of psychology.
