Dustin has worked with a who’s who in music including Motley Crue, Black Label Society, Sixx:AM, KISS, 5 Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, Rob Zombie, Alter Bridge, Guns N Roses, No Doubt, The Beastie Boys, TESLA and many others. Dustin’s work has been published in numerous publications including Rolling Stone, Modern Drummer, and Vintage Guitar Magazine among others. I had to talk to Dustin and dig deep, since our interests in music and music photography (both as players and shooters) are so similar. He was a cool cat start-to-finish, and is a real inspiration…
