JT Lock(www.jeremytlock.com) has worked with the United States Air Force for almost 20 years. A Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force, JT has experience, training, and insight that few photojournalists can claim. He's been in the thick of war battles, shooting with his camera rather than a gun; even earning a Bronze Star. He's documented the realities of life in disease- and poverty-stricken Africa. He's covered diplomatic celebrations, funerals and historic meetings. He is specially trained to shoot from the air and under the sea. He is the sole military photographer to be recognized four times as the best in the business (Military Photographer of the Year, 2003, '05, '06, '08). “I thrive on working stories, diving into each experience, and living for a moment in a world outside of my norm,” Lock stated. Lock’s work has been featured in major publications like the National Geographic, Time Magazine, The New York Times and The LA Times.
