Dustin Pittman

Hi, I’m Dustin Pittman, a Fashion photographer, Filmmaker, Social Historian, & Activist born and raised in the Adirondack Mountains.

My love for photography began with flipping through fashion and music magazines at the local mall. In 1969, I moved to New York City to study film and photography at the School of Visual Arts—and I never looked back. The city became my muse, especially its nightlife, where I captured everything from Studio 54’s glamour to the gritty art scenes of SoHo and the Bowery.

My book, New York After Dark (Rizzoli),

is a visual love letter to that time, filled with black-and-white images and personal memories from 1967 to 1982. I see photography as storytelling—capturing not just a face, but a feeling, a pulse, a moment in cultural history.

I’ve always aimed to blend glamour and grit, and I’m grateful to have lived—and documented—New York at its most fearless.
