In the mid -1990s, Dustin Humphrey left everything for surfing. However, he did not want to navigate in infinite waves wanted to capture them after his camera. His obsession came to such an extent that he completely transformed the photograph focused on surfing, incorporating artistic concepts and giving him a totally different vision. One of its great “dopamine” project is a clear example of this.
Dopamina, Dustin Humphrey
Although, in 1999, he disappeared by surprise of the surf world without saying a word and settled in Bali, specifically in a small beach town (Canggu). There Created Deus Ex Machina, "Temple of enthusiasm", a place lost in a wonderful corner of the world where it customizes motorcycles, surf tables, clothing and anything that occurs to him.

In addition, it organizes concerts every week, tattoo and even photography workshops.
