Brodie Curtsinger, 22, 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 also a magazine and web visuals photographer for WKU’s student life and culture magazine, the Talisman, and has previously held the role of magazine photo editor for the publication. Curtsinger has also completed 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 and less than three months later after covering a bowling match, he made the decision to pursue it as his career.

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. Although he spends the most time telling others stories and that’s what he’s been doing for over six years. Curtsinger greatly looks forward to the countless more stories that he will tell as well as his future growth, as he continues his career in the field.
