D.Hump

Dustin lives in Bali but used to live in Huntington Beach. He also used to farm mink and sell sheared beaver coats from the trunk of his car. In the past five years he has established himself as an elite surf photographer, constantly traveling in search of the inspired photograph. His experimental approach, speculative angles, thematic virtuosity and open-mindedness have made Dustin "the most important photographer of the male penis since Robert Mapplethorpe." Dustin is the lens behind Insight's famous Dopamine campaign and the Sipping Jetstreams movement. He also helped saved thousands of children after the 2004 tsunami.
He likes trust fund babies and pre-op transsexuals.

From the mentor: "Inspiration needs to come from beyond surf magazines. Sure, I always looked up to guys like Art Brewer and Dan Merkel but National Geographic photogs have influenced my travel photography more than anything. I'm a magazine whore, I spend about $1000 a month on magazines and I'm currently fixated on Annie Liebowitz's portraiture. I have every piece of equipment under the sun but you certainly don't need a lot of equipment to create iconic images. It's all about knowing your lenses and making them work. I started out with a 20mm and 100mm lenses and knew them so intimately that I knew their capabilities and limitations."

Making your entry pop: "I have a feeling that you're probably thinking you need a well-rounded folio. I don't believe that's the case. Excellence in a particular field is more important to me. If portraits are your thing, great. If swimming at Pipe and the thrill of competition and ego is your thing, that's also great. Believe in what you do and shine."
