About Me


My name is Dustin Alexander Thornton, but my nickname is Dustin Hollywood. I’m a professional photographer from Los Angeles, CA but I am moving to New York City, NY and Philadelphia, PA, splitting my time between both in August 2011. I have been shooting since February 2008, and I shoot everything from Fashion/editorial to nightlife/lifestyle and product photography, as well as a ton more! Film and Digital, but more and more Analog film is beginning to steal my heart.  I’m also a designer, and own my own Jewelry company that’s makin’ hot waves in the fashion world called RED DEVIL LOVE, which has been around since March 2010. I love what I do and I am obsessed with my craft and everyday I am alive I strive to learn more and develop my skills.  Hopefully I'll get to photograph YOU one day!
