I'm Justin Mott, a professional photographer and educator based in Vietnam. I share honest, practical lessons in street, documentary, travel, portrait, and Leica photography, drawn from 20+ years in the field.
I've shot more than 100 assignments for The New York Times. My work has appeared in Leica's global WITNESS campaign and been featured by National Geographic and the BBC. I help ambitious amateurs and working professionals make stronger photographs through clearer decisions, purposeful assignments, direct feedback, and consistent practice.
Join the AskMOTT Community for monthly assignments, critiques, live sessions, and accountability. You can also work with me through 1:1 coaching, portfolio reviews, mentorship, or small-group Vietnam photography workshops.
Subscribe for field lessons, honest gear reviews, Leica coverage, editing advice, and practical ways to improve your photography.

My dog Chiu Chiu has a new podcast titled CHIU ON THIS.
He takes on the controversial topics of our time and offers rare insight into life as a photographer’s dog.
His inaugural episode pulls no punches as he explains why new-camera days are often his worst days:
“Take today, for example. He’s chasing me around with his new Ricoh GR IV Monochrome while preaching that new gear doesn’t make you better.”
You can download and subscribe to CHIU ON THIS wherever you usually get your podcasts.

What 20 years, three brands, and one marketing agency taught me about building a site that actually reflects who I am. If I type the URL to an external link this post won't get any traction so if you're interested just type my full name into your browser and add dot com.
