Photojournalist and Editorial Photographer Hanoi Saigon Vietnam Photographer Justin Mott: About Me

I grew up in a small town in Rhode Island, USA on Appleseed Drive surrounded by ripe apple orchards. Even though my last name is Mott I am unfortunately not related to the apple juice/sauce titan. I studied photojournalism at San Francisco State University but a year before I was set to graduate I took a trip to Southeast Asia, fell in love with the region, and eventually settled in Vietnam. I hate and love taking pictures of conical hats; it really depends on the day. I never returned to school, but I did once write an essay on the current state of photojournalism for Harvard’s Nieman Reports so I consider myself an Ivy Leaguer.

I'm represented by Redux Pictures and an archive of his work can be found on their site.
