Hey I love your work and it's inspiring me to become a photojournalist. I'm currently a freelance event photographer but do you have any tips on how to start working for a publication?

[@richarddenise3886]

Photojournalism from behind the lens .... a real treat. Thanks!

[@AskMOTT]

Thanks Richard, glad you liked it.

I've always loved images made using Leica glass as they tend to be quite high contrast. I see that your photographs here seem to exploit this quality rather beautifully. Stunning.

Ahhh, the Gary Winogrand dutch tilt phase! I think most of us have gone through it. I had a crusty editor ask if I had one leg shorter than the other! No more tilts, unless it was a grab shot. Great job as always, Justin.

[@AskMOTT]

I love your editor's remark, that's awesome Terry.

Love this series. 10-12 minutes would be nice 😊

[@AskMOTT]

Thanks, I can definitely go longer.

Gary Winogrand turned tilting his horizons into an art form.

[@AskMOTT]

Unfortunately I didn’t though ha ha :).

[@KeshenMac]

Definitely dig the new setup!

[@AskMOTT]

Thank you Nam :)

"I did it. I'm not proud of it. But I'm here to admit it: I tilted my horizons." 😂 I'm actually moving the other way; trying to break out of everything even and level and incorporate a bit more of a freestyle, loose look by...tilting my horizons. Another great video, Justin!

[@AskMOTT]

I’ll see you at the titled horizon meetings . “Hi, I’m Justin Mott , and I tilt my horizons.”

[@AskMOTT]

Thank you for watching, how’s the book ?

[@Notwilliamafton441]

Great presentation as always. I just wish the video was at least an hour longer...😢

[@AskMOTT]

Don’t tempt me ha ha I’ll keep talking :).

[@davidkipperman5218]

Great video from the inside. What are your favorite lenses now for your M system? I just bought an M11 mono and so many choices, mainly shoot landscape now. 😎

[@AskMOTT]

Thanks David, my favorite is easily my 35mm Summilux, not the most current edition . I also love my 100mm 2.8 APO macro R lens.
