A visual storyteller for the last seven years, Kirk has worked for the New York Times, Aurora Photos, the Associated Press and many other photo distribution networks nationwide.

In addition to national editorial work Kirk has created a thriving commercial photography business in Seattle WA.

In 2006 Kirk attended the prestigious Eddie Adams Workshop in Liberty, NY, where he worked on photo and multimedia projects alongside editors from National Geographic, the Washington Post and the New York Times. At this workshop, Kirk made business connections which would lead to multimedia projects for the New York Times and other clients.

Moving beyond still photography, Kirk has worked as a cinematographer on a full length documentary as well as writing, shooting and producing several short documentary pieces for the web.

Kirk's personal work with the Flip Video camera is featured by technology editor David Pogue of the New York times, and his short films documenting the 'fixed gear' bicycle culture have been seen and written about by people all over the world.

Kirk travels the country teaching digital storytelling, Web 2.0 digital distribution strategy and social networking technology to businesses and government agencies.

Kirk's goal is to nurture others to create compelling content for the Internet without the need for expensive equipment or large production teams.

In his spare time, Kirk explores the incredible outdoor recreation available in Washington State including sea kayaking, mountaineering and rock climbing.

Kirk Mastin is based in Seattle, Washington.
