Dan Busta
Cover for Issue 281
London
Issue 281 July 7, 2009

Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, while most kids his age were hanging out at malls, Dan Busta found his passion of photography by capturing photos of skating. He quickly became a staple in the industry as one of of four leading photographers by the age of 19. His sport documentary work has brought him around the globe to countries such as Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, Peru, and Serbia.

In contrast to his past works, Busta recently has been concentrating on photographing human emotions. He delicately controls and composes people and props to build each picture which is inspired by master painters of the neo-classical and romantic era.

Busta still keeps it real by attending an annual skatepark tour through the Rocky Mountains, where he jumps off a 40-foot bridge into the Colorado River.

Busta works out of his Los Angeles Studio, The Forge.
