Meet Brodie Curtsinger, a rising senior at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and a summer photography fellow at Tucker Publishing Group, Inc. The Mount Washington, Kentucky, native is studying photojournalism at WKU and is on track to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in May 2026. During the 2024-25 academic year, Brodie served the Campus Walk event chair for WKU’s chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
In addition to photography, Brodie enjoys trying new foods, drinking coffee, driving to new places, learning about psychology, and spending time with family and friends. Check out more of Brodie’s photography here, and get to know him below!
What are your favorite things to photograph, and why?
My favorite thing to photograph is the connection that exists within a community, a household, a company, family, and friends, etc. Observing the beauty of that natural connection — human to human, human to object, human to nature, human to animal, and more — is what makes me look forward to the work that I get to do every day.
Why did you decide to pursue a photography fellowship at Tucker Publishing Group, Inc.?
It has been my dream since I was 15 years old to work at a magazine, and when I discovered that WKU Student Publications had a fellowship program with Evansville Living, I knew this was the perfect place for me.
What experiences do you hope to have while working for TPG?
I hope to make the best work I know how, all while having a fantastic time.
If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go, and why?
It would have to be traveling the countries of Europe. The pictures I’ve seen taken in Italy, whether it be of the community, the landscape, or the food — I can just tell it’s the perfect place for me to visit one day.
What life experience would you choose to relive, and why?
It would be either when my family and I went to see Prince in concert the last time he came to Louisville (Editor’s note: The late guitarist and singer launched his “HitnRun” tour at the Louisville Palace on March 14, 2015, 13 months before he passed away), or the time my father and I saw Metallica at the KFC Yum Center.
What’s your dream job?
My dream job would be to work at a magazine publication and tell the story of people in the community who have perhaps not had their story told before. In other words, I’m getting to live my dream job through this internship.
