Jay Westcott
Greensboro, NC, USA
I'm a photojournalist with over 15 years' experience shooting politics, portraits, sports, and breaking news. I have worked as a photo tech/editor at The Washington Post, as a staff photographer at The Washington Examiner, as a staff photographer for TBD.com, POLITICO, and now The News & Advance, a BH Media newspaper in Lynchburg, VA. I'm an alum of the Corcoran College of Art and Design and I have attended the prestigious Eddie Adams Workshop.
My work has appeared in The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, Newsweek, Time, Washingtonian Magazine and several other places, including on my mom’s refrigerator. I've been recognized by the WHNPA, NPPA, VNPA and Sportsshooter.com contests and have exhibited in several galleries.
I live in Lynchburg, VA and am available for work throughout the Mid-Atlantic. When I’m not working, I’m riding or racing my bicycle or hiking with my daughter, Lauren.
