Martin Zinggl

| Author + Photographer

Born in Austria, but very much a global citizen today, Martin Zinggl is a freelance reporter, filmmaker, photographer, author, and anthropologist. He lives here and there, and in his hometown of Vienna in between. He began writing in 2007 while doing research for his master's thesis in Tuvalu, an island in the South Pacific. While all of Martin's work has been meaningful, one of his greatest achievements was working in conflict areas with Doctors Without Borders. His photos and writings—including three published books—are usually published in German-speaking markets, though he's begun translating some of his greatest stories into English.
