Kristyna Wentz-Graff is the photo editor at OPB. Prior to joining OPB, Kristyna worked as photojournalist and picture editor at The Oregonian, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and The Post-Crescent. For the majority of her career, she focused on long-form visual narratives—specifically on cultural and social issues such as mental illness, foster care and gender. Her work is shaped by the belief that most people are seeking connection and understanding, and we can all learn something from one another.
Kristyna lives in Portland, Oregon, where she can be found enjoying live music, discovering new food, chauffeuring her children to sporting events, and on rare occasions, doing nothing at all.
