![]() No, I actually, I really missed the auctions. So is that something you enjoy or is that something that, just to pay the bills?ĭustin Jack: Oh man. There's not a lot of people you can call to have it photographed. But I also specialize in rarities, which is really weird little market, cause you got a $20 million painting. So once I left that place, I was pretty much prepared to do whatever I needed to do. So I was literally one day shooting a Rembrandt and the bat mobile, and the next day would be a pair of ruby slippers and a King Kong poster.ĭustin Jack: So it was a real trial by fire, you learned how to light things very quickly and move on. One called Fretted Americana and one called David Brass Rare Books.ĭustin Jack: So in the beginning when I first moved to Hollywood, my very first job was working at and Auction House. So I'm actually an in house photographer for two different companies now. When did it become a career? When did it like click that, oh my God, I can do this and make a career out of this?ĭustin Jack: Well, I've never done anything else, so.ĭustin Jack: But interestingly enough it didn't start in music photography. So you started out at an early age, you started shooting, like you said, like friends bands and stuff like that. ![]() So that's how I approach my concert photography for sure. Like I would never show somebody a strip of negatives and go, "Look at my pictures," right? You have to print them and then it has to be presented properly. ![]() So when I try to create an image, I really try to craft it to where it says something where. Processing that film and printing and crafting a print is still exactly the same process. I'm used to working on four by five view cameras where you're under the sheet and everything's upside down and backwards. So the transition, I was still using film, you know, and I'm kind of traditionally taught. Was that a hard transition as a photographer to go from one to the other?ĭustin Jack: Not really because I started literally at the very beginning of the Photoshop. So that's incredible that you spent that much time in the dark room and then now with the digital age, as you said, Photoshop is your dark room. Jeff: How much easier is that as a photographer nowadays that you don't have to do that, or do you still use a dark room?ĭustin Jack: I probably logged over 2000 hours in the traditional dark room. And playing in bands and always playing with good bands and having a camera around, I just started shooting my buddies, you know, and that's how it started. The school I was at did not offer photo at the time, so I just kinda, I was self taught. And you know, built my own dark room, that whole thing. And I picked up my first camera when I was probably about 15. I was a drummer first before I was anything. How did you start down this path? How did you get into photography and then more specifically, how did you get into rock photography?ĭustin Jack: I mean, it literally goes all the way back. I love talking with photographers, especially rock photographers because it seems like the job everybody wants if you can't be a rockstar, is to be in the pit and be capturing these moments that are just incredible. Jeff: So Dustin, I want to start off kind of in the beginning.
