About
Hello! My name is Jacob Lujan. I am entering my junior year at Texas Tech University where I major in creative media industries. I am the current multimedia editor at The Daily Toreador, freelancer visual journalist and member of The New York Times Corps. My passion for visual storytelling, whether in photo or video, grows with every assignment I complete. I am a hard worker and a sponge for new techniques and tricks that will advance my storytelling capabilities. I have worked with The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, a part of the USA Today network, the National Premier Soccer League and Red Raider Sports, part of the Rivals.com network. I am open to freelance in the West Texas Area.
