Justin Mott has spent nearly 20 years creating editorial photography across Vietnam, Asia, and beyond. He has completed more than 100 assignments for The New York Times, alongside features for National Geographic, TIME, Forbes, BBC, Condé Nast Traveler, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post.
What Working With Justin On Assignment Looks Like
Justin handles editorial work the way editors actually need it handled. He responds quickly to inquiries, scopes the brief honestly, and delivers files on the timelines newsrooms operate on. He speaks English natively and Vietnamese conversationally. Two decades on the ground gave him a working network of fixers, translators, and producers across Vietnam, Asia, and beyond, which means he can absorb logistics that would otherwise eat the budget.
He’s comfortable on hard editorial. Conflict zones, conservation crises, social-issue features, and politically sensitive ground all sit inside his track record. He’s also comfortable on softer travel, food, and culture features when that’s the brief.
