Raised in the California’s farmland and culturally vapid Central Valley, Dustin Aksland made his escape after high school to pursue a life of the opposite, rich with adventure, travel and lots of photography. After attending the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Aksland moved to New York and has since been been filling his relentless appetite for shooting a wide range of subjects. Whether shooting Rick Ross or Patti Smith, to documenting the hardcore band Ceremony or workers in Dubai, Aksland gracefully and skillfully sheds a new perspective on whatever his lens focuses on. Having worked with a lengthy list of clients to long to list and having been featured in several publications, Aksland has proven himself to be a talent amongst a horad of people calling themselves "photographers." His most recent endeavor has taken him into motion directing Ceremony’s newest video and we look forawrd to seeing what else he has up his sleeve for the future.
