The New York Times -1000- Year Anniversary of Hanoi, Vietnam - Photographer Selects

Welcome to Photographer Selects, an exclusive series on ASKMOTT where I reveal a full set of client-delivered images from recent photography assignments. Each post dives into the assignment details, the gear I used, and my approach to capturing the shots. Unlike typical photography showcases that only highlight the best images, this series offers a transparent look at my creative process—including the good, the bad, and everything in between. You'll gain insight into how I work a scene, the shots my clients ultimately choose (which aren’t always my personal picks), and practical tips to enhance your own photography skills
