Something Wicked is excited to announce that Rukes will be the official photographer to the anticipated Halloween event taking place October 26th! Having bought his first camera in 2004, Drew Ressler is now the go-to photographer for DJs and music festivals around the world. Known for his fisheye shots directly behind DJs and his ability to capture the emotion of the events, it’s no wonder people call him the #1 DJ photographer.
“I get to be a part of it and if I do my job well enough I get to share the experience with everyone else.” And if you’ve ever wondered where he got the moniker “Rukes,” “It comes from back in the AOL days when I was in random chat rooms. In a video game chat room in 1995 somebody said ‘This video game rules,’ but they misspelled it ‘rukes’ by accident. Little typos were the cool thing to do back then, so I just saw that and everybody started calling me Rukes. [Then] I started calling myself that as a joke when I worked with Paul Van Dyk, and he was the number-one DJ in DJ Mag, so I just put it in my Twitter profile back then, and I forgot to take it down. It eventually grew to be reality.”
We’re thrilled to have Rukes share the experience of Something Wicked 2013 with the world. Tickets are still available, so grab yours today!
