BROOKE HERBERT (SHE/HER)

I’m a documentary filmmaker, producer, and photojournalist based in Portland, Oregon. Previously, I was a video producer at The Oregonian and Blue Chalk Media in Portland and a multimedia editor at the Chicago Tribune. I’ve spent the last six years living between the U.S. and India.

I earned my Master’s degree in photo and video journalism from Ohio University, where I also taught courses in photo editing and photojournalism. For my undergraduate degree, I studied painting, photography, drawing, printmaking and art history in my hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. My interest in photojournalism began early — when I claimed my late grandfather’s piles of National Geographic magazines that he hoarded in his trailer in Kentucky. My first camera was ordered from the back of a cereal box when I was 8. It was plastic, had no viewfinder and was my favorite toy.

I am a member of Women Photograph, The Journal collective and The Video Consortium. I am also an FAA Part 107 licensed drone pilot.

I am currently available for assignments in the U.S.
