Ken Marsh

Ken Marsh (USA) is an Alaska-based wildlife photographer, outdoor writer and editor whose lifelong connection with the state’s wild landscapes has shaped a career devoted to telling stories through both words and images. With an interest in all aspects of the natural world, his work explores the wildlife, landscapes, changing seasons and outdoor life of Alaska and the wider Pacific Northwest.

Ken began his career in 1988 as outdoors editor of Alaska magazine, eventually becoming editor-in-chief. After nearly a decade with one of the state’s best-known publications, he left to pursue freelance work, travelling throughout Alaska, western Canada and the Pacific Northwest to photograph and write about wildlife, wilderness and life outdoors.

His stories and photographs have appeared in publications including Gray’s Sporting Journal, Alaska magazine, Alaska Beyond, Shooting Sportsman, Pointing Dog Journal and BC Outdoors. In 1999, he published Breakfast at Trout’s Place: The Seasons of an Alaska Flyfisher, a personal exploration of Alaska’s landscapes, seasons and fly-fishing life.

Ken later worked as a weekly fishing columnist for the Anchorage Daily News and became widely known through his public-information roles with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Alaska State Troopers. Today, he has come full circle, returning full-time to photography and freelance writing while continuing to capture the wildlife, landscapes and stories of the place he has called home throughout his life.
