about dustin
Dustin is both a freelance photographer and a freelance creative designer & developer.

In 2007, Dustin spent three months working on a photography conservation project in South Africa, helping to build a worldwide database of animal and plant life in and around the St. Lucia Estuary (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). In 2008 Dustin also spent a month shooting and working in Zambia and Zimbabwe.

Dustin's interest in photography stems from growing up in Maine, where he first began shooting wblack & white film in high school. Though Dustin has experience shooting a huge variety of subjects in a wide range of conditions, his favorite subjects are people and nature-- he also loves to surf but generally has a hard time getting out of the water to shoot when the conditions are good!

Today, Dustin is finishing his undergraduate degree in International Affairs at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. His love for culture and world travel go hand-in-hand with his love for photography.
