He studied at the California Institute of the Arts, where an early focus on experimental documentary shaped a lasting interest in the frame as both structure and sensation.
His collaborations with Chanel, Hermès, Miu Miu, Calvin Klein, Levi’s, MAC, and La Mer explore the aesthetics of beauty and luxury with equal attention to restraint and decadence. As director or cinematographer, his images are defined by a sensitivity to light, rhythm, and the specific tone of each project.
Fluent across visual styles, Busfield brings a flexible, deliberate approach to his work – balancing formal control with expressive range. He is equally at home working alone in remote settings or leading large crews in major cities, with deep expertise in all camera systems and a practiced hand in both editing and color.
He lives and works between Los Angeles and New York.
