Hello! Genna Martin here! I am a visual storyteller and documentary photographer based in Seattle, Washington. I've spent the past 15 years working at news outlets across the country, most recently as a photographer and photo editor at Cascade PBS.  I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, adventure, community, good light, problem solving, motorcycles and mountains. 

My work has been featured in National Geographic, The New York Times, NBC News, The Washington Post, The Associated Press, The Globe and Mail, USA Today, PBS, NPR and The Oregonian.
