The longtime photojournalist was considered the dean of the Capitol Hill photo corps.

“He had incredible relationships with the leadership of the House and Senate in both parties,” Melina Mara, a Post photographer mentored by Mr. Lustig, said in an interview. “It’s one thing to be a good photographer, but it’s another thing to be a good newsman or newswoman. And he was a good newsman.”
Mr. Lustig searched to find interesting angles and dramatic moments in the static settings of congressional committee hearings. He also had a knack for humanizing his subjects, showing the shadows in the creased faces of senators conferring together or the strain of being barraged by questions. In a quickly taken shot of Sen.-elect Max Cleland , who had lost three limbs as a soldier in Vietnam, Mr. Lustig widened his lens to create a poignant portrait of the senator in his wheelchair.
“You have to make lemons into lemonade every day,” he told Mara, who began with Mr. Lustig in 1998. “If you can do award-winning photography on the Hill, you can shoot anywhere.”
