My name... Dustin Izatt but my friends call me Big D :P
Where I live... Layton, Utah (Born and Raised)
My style... Shoot like crap and fix it in photoshop, hahaha, j/k. A little
bit of everything, traditional, fashion, photojournalistic.
My website .... www.digitalizatt.com
The piece of equipment I can't part with... my 1ds mark II and 70-200 IS
lens
The album company I use... Graphistudio, Albums Unlimited, Zookbinders, and soon to be La Vie
A website I visit often... OSP, I am addicted to David Jay's Forum.
One thing I do daily for my business... network, network, and network some more.
What I charge for an 4 x 6... $10
3 things you'll find on my desk... Drawings made by my sweet daughters Kyleigh and Madison, Family Pictures, and a whole lot of clutter.
Something you must have in every business.... excellent customer service and
money for emergencies and to get you through the slow months.
Something I always have with me during a photo shoot... a camera body and a lens, lol. Actually I always have my 70-200 f/2.8 IS lens as I use it probably 75% of the time. I also like to bring compact video lights for use at night to achieve some sweet lighting.
If I could have someone shoot a portrait of me if would be ... Joe Buissink, he is so passionate about photography and has the ability to capture the true personality and emotions.
A challenge I face in my company... charging what I'm worth, I become such close friends with my clients that I always cut sweet deals and forget I am also running a business.
If not a photographer I would have been a .... Middle School Science Teacher.
A blog I must read daily..... We know you love Blu but choose another one
(he he) I check .... only one? Hahaha, I have a long bookmark section of
about 30 photographers that I check daily, but the top of my list is Jason
Groupp's blog.
Dustin's favorite image of recent
What I had for dinner... Taco Casserole
Where you'll find me on a Friday night at 7 pm... most likely shooting a wedding, but if it was up to me, I'd be out to a romantic dinner with my
wife and then snuggle up to a movie in the theatres.
The brand of jeans I prefer .... anything that is loose and comfortable.
A hobby of mine.... playing acoustic guitar.
5 years from now I will have ... the newest Bludomain template because Blu templates ROCK
Something that annoys me... when I have a rare last minute order I need to grab real quick at Costco or Sams Club and you have somebody with their
memory card in the kiosk digitally enhancing and cropping 500 images. Don't they know they can do that at home then burn it on a cd so they don't hold
up the line? lol
My best feature.. my best feature is probably my willingness to help anyone with anything, I am such a push over
Something that is so overrated... doing your own website, admit it, you just wasted hours creating a sucky website when you could've went with Blu,
hahaha

My astrological sign... Leo
Something I must have for summer.... I want my 1d mark III for summer :)
2 things I would never throw away... money and time.

Blu Gossip presented by the Mysterious Kailee ( he he this cracks me up)
. did you know that once upon a time, BluDomain wanted to be blu.com. Unfortunately a local Blue Chip Fund (who doesn't even go by Blu) owned the name. A little history for you.
. I am refreshed and rejunvenated. If you haven't experienced Canyon Ranch in Arizona check it out. A great place to have a girl's photography workshop.
. what about flirty. fresh and fun! or Under 200.00 - 400.00 - 600.00 - 800.00 and not crap! or unnecessary but fun! or what about glamour on a budget "think champagne & pizza", Get answers about everything that's on your chest from why does BluDomain refuse to be a 24-7 company to why they eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream when they are stressed. The unstoppable resolve of BluDomain.
Don't venture too far
Don't fear summer! Did you know that when you point out your imperfections to men, you're actually forcing them to see something they were happy to overlook and probably wouldn't have noticed in the first place.
. rumor has it bird bling is in. www.style-scene.com Check out the new little birdie at www.boutwellstudio.com and see what the little birdie has to say!
CONGRATS, Dustin! You rock!
