About

I'm Lucas Mullikin—an award-winning visual storyteller working full-time as a journalist, director of photography, producer, and editor. My work strives to break through traditional storytelling paradigms, producing content that drives audiences' sense of understanding.

I'm constantly looking to elevate stories that bring light to circumstances often overlooked in mainstream media. From documenting the water crisis on Navajo Nation to embedded coverage with trucker convoys to dispatches from Ukraine—I focus on narratives outside the norm while exploring the elements that make us who we are.
