Amber Sigman is a national and regional award winning visual storyteller with over 16 years experience covering stories with a compassionate lens and appreciation for culture; from a Florida woman visiting her native Cuba, to Wyoming’s cowboy culture, sacred spots in Thailand, Tanzania's wildlife, and underwater adventures in Southeast Asia.

She hopes her photos will convey the unity she feels when traveling.
