DUSTIN IS A NEW YORK-BASED PHOTOGRAPHER AND FEATURES EDITOR AT IRIS COVET BOOK
I am an internationally-published photographer, editor, writer and poet. From 2016 - 2020, I was a founding team member of IRIS Covet Book as its Features Editor.
Photography is more than a beautiful image, for me it is the ability to connect with and document the essence of my subject at the moment in time when our paths intersect. With my intuitive approach, I seek the core of my subjects and try to share it in a way that is both celebratory and accessible. My interviews add another layer of depth to my photographic work, verbalizing my subject’s story and sharing it with the world. I’ve had the opportunity to share the stories of creative talent & industry leaders through my photographs and interviews. Writing poems since my youth, I’ve also had works published as voiceover for fashion film, or as an accompaniment to my own photographic work. I’ve photographed and worked with celebrities, designers, fine artists, corporate executives, authors, activists, philanthropists, politicians, athletes, major beauty companies and editorial clients.
LIGHT
We are all simply refractions of light:
Vibrating atoms that compose our bodies reflect light waves
which enter our pupils, to be interpreted by our brains
as the holographic images that represent
your face
or
my face.
Without light there is no color.
Imagine if there was no light and only total darkness.
Without light, we are simply an imageless lump of matter
Floating through the void of space and time.
