Light, moment, expression, composition, irony and truth are what photojournalist Joshua Trujillo looks for through the viewfinder of his camera.  He is a storyteller; images are his words.


Trujillo has been a photojournalist at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper since 2003. He arrived in Seattle by way of the Hearst Fellowship, a program in which journalists rotate to Hearst-owned newspapers around the country.  The fellowship took him to the Houston Chronicle, the San Antonio Express-News and the Seattle P-I.  He also worked at the Arizona Republic and the Arizona Daily Star during his college years at the University of Arizona.


While in the fellowship program, Hearst Newspapers sent Trujillo to Afghanistan in September 2001 to cover the United States' reaction to the attacks of September 11.  He was one of the first newspaper photographers in that ravaged country and his photos were published around the world and in many U.S. newspapers and magazines.


Prior to his life as a photojournalist Trujillo was in the U.S. Air Force, where he served as a weather journeyman with the Army and Air Force during the Kosovo conflict.


He spends his free time in Seattle aboard his sailboat Revelation with his two young daughters and his wife, Lina.
