Dustin Rabin is recognized within the music industry as one of the top concert photographers, and is considered to be the favourite of many bands that he works with. His work has graced the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, pages of countless CD/DVD packages, magazines, and books worldwide. Not to mention the private collections of the artists he photographs.

Some of his most notable recent achievements include being handpicked by Paul McCartney to photograph a portion of his 2011 tour, and having over 40 of his photos appear in the Grammy Award-Winning feature film "Foo Fighters Back And Forth" by James Moll.

He can trace the beginnings of his career back to a handful of chance meetings with people who have since become his good friends, and whom he continues to photograph to this day. He credits these people for giving him the opportunities that have made him who he is today, and will be forever thankful to them.

Dustin brings his love of music and passion for photography with him to every concert he shoots. Aware of how fortunate he is to be able to share the stage with his favourite artists, Dustin captures the feeling of standing (maybe crouching is a better word) in front of thousands, to share it with other music fans.

Dustin's portraits are raw and present the people as they really are. He is able to bring out their personality, and put a bit of his own energy into each photograph that he takes.
