Acting with courage, challenging the status quo and finding new ways to grow our company and each other. Being present, connecting with transparency, dignity and respect.

Atlas Obscura is the definitive guide to the world's wondrous and curious places.
In an age where everything seems to have been explored and there is nothing new to be found, we celebrate a different way of looking at the world. If you're searching for MINIATURE CITIES, GLASS FLOWERS, BOOKS BOUND IN HUMAN SKIN, GIGANTIC FLAMING HOLES IN THE GROUND, BONE CHURCHES, BALANCING PAGODAS, or HOMES BUILT ENTIRELY OUT OF PAPER, the Atlas Obscura is where you'll find them.


Atlas Obscura is a collaborative project. We depend on our far-flung community of explorers (like you!) to help us discover amazing, hidden spots, and share them with the world. If you know of a curious place that's not already in the Atlas, let us know.
There is plenty out there to discover, so let's start looking!

Working as a visual journalist for more than 18 years, Joshua Trujillo uses his craft of still and moving images to document the unique and the ordinary. He is comfortable working in uncontrollable environments or in situations where he can collaborate with a subject to create the perfect storytelling visuals. We all know that cameras and skilled photographers are ubiquitous, but capturing moments that successfully convey an authentic and emotional story is what he strives for.

His still photography has been published in almost every major U.S. newspaper, magazine, and website, including on the front page of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and full page features in People Magazine—following the 2010 Haiti earthquake. His photograph have appeared on the Associated Press wire service and countless media websites.

He has produced work for Fortune 500 companies and in his current role is the senior visual storyteller for Starbucks Coffee Company. His work as Director of Photography and Creative Director on Starbucks first original series, Upstanders, was recognized by PR Week as the "best brand film of 2016."

Josh is a co-founder of Northwest Photojournalism, a group that supports and educates photojournalists in the Pacific Northwest. He also can be found occasionally teaching photography classes to everyone from college students to first-graders.
