Drew Ressler is the self proclaimed best photographer of DJs in the world, with some of his biggest clients being Deadmau5, Afrojack, Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia we can’t disagree. “I am big on depth of field, so I love to use lenses that highlight that fact, such as f/1.2. I also like to make sure my pictures are properly exposed and most importantly, properly in focus. I also like a bit of high contrast and saturation, to bring out the colors and also to make them stand out in the dark. Lastly, I try to get the photo to capture the moment; that means no blurring or light-trails”
