Mario Tsosie
Navajo Marine Corps Veteran Photographer
Rooted in Navajo traditions and Marine Corps discipline, I embody honor, resilience, and authenticity in my photography. I capture moments with respect and precision, honoring stories and preserving cultural heritage. Each image reflects strength, integrity, and spirit.
The Marine Corps values—honor, courage, and commitment—deeply influence my photography practice. Honor guides me to treat every subject and story with dignity. Courage pushes me to explore bold perspectives and embrace creative risks. Commitment drives my passion to meticulously focus on every intricate detail of each shoot.
These core values shape not only my artistic vision but also elevate the quality of my work, resulting in timeless images that resonate deeply with all who experience them.
