We calculate the nuclear modification factor of neutral pions and the photon yield at high p{sub T} in central Au-Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) ({radical}(s)=200 GeV) and Pb-Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) ({radical}(s)=5500 GeV). A leading-order accurate treatment of jet energy loss in the medium has been convolved with a physical description of the initial spatial distribution of jets and a one dimensional hydrodynamic expansion. We reproduce the nuclear modification factor for pions R{sub AA} at RHIC, assuming an initial temperature T{sub i}=370 MeV and a formation time {tau}{sub i}=0.26 fm/c, corresponding to dN/dy=1260. The resulting suppression depends on the particle rapidity density dN/dy but weakly on the initial temperature. The jet energy loss treatment is also included in the calculation of high p{sub T} photons. Photons coming from primordial hard N-N scattering are the dominant contribution at RHIC for p{sub T}>5 GeV, whereas at the LHC, the range 8
