Real Photography Skills. From a Photographer Who Actually Works.

I’ve shot 100+ assignments for the New York Times globally, had my work featured in National Geographic and the BBC, and hosted and judged History Channel’s Photo Face Off for 5 seasons. Now I teach photographers of all levels and ages how to truly improve — through honest feedback, real assignments, and stories from 20 years in the field.

Direction, Motivation, and Accountability for Your Photography.

These are the three things that built my career and the three things most photographers never get shooting on their own.

The AskMOTT Membership gives you all three. Every month you get a real assignment to push you, direct critique on your work from me personally, exclusive lessons from 20 years in the field, and a community of photographers who take their craft seriously at every level and every age.

This isn’t theory. This is how you actually improve.

Danny Rivera, USA

Workshop Participant

"This was my second workshop with Justin, and it pushed me even further than the first. The assignments are intentional, the feedback is direct, and you're constantly challenged to improve. I left with stronger work, a clearer voice, and a better understanding of how I approach photography."

Steve Vick, USA

1-Hour Session

"I signed up for three one hour sessions with Justin and found them incredibly practical and directly applicable to my work. His feedback is honest and direct, exactly what I was looking for. If you want to be challenged and actually improve, this is worth it."

Brian James, Australia

Northern Vietnam Workshop

"I can comfortably say it was one of the best experiences of my life. The tasks and feedback sessions highlight Justin's natural teaching ability and build skills and confidence in the photographer. If you enjoy photography, want to upskill, and be exposed to northern Vietnam, do it. Highly recommended."
