My name is Rocky Mac, and I am a photojournalist in the Chicagoland area. I studied convergent news and weather media at Metropolitan State University of Denver, where I learned to write groundbreaking stories and create photos that encapsulate the moment in time.

I am an independent photojournalist and contact tracer, and I am navigating the everchanging landscape of both news media and the world we’re living in. I advocate for mental health and overcoming abuse, and I’m proud to use my voice to help bring change to our world. #blacklivesmatter
