Touch base with David Mecey at photokina - free lingerie workshop
If there is one photographer that I would ask about portraits, lighting and models then it would be David Mecey. There are not very many photographers who can look back on decades of finding and shooting playmates, covers, centerfolds, but also celebrities, catalogues and advertisements.
So whatever I would ever want to know, he has been there done that. Is he willing to share? Absolutely! He has already given me multiple awesome tips for my work and he will do the same for you if you take the chance to meet him at photokina. I talked to him on the phone about details and I recorded the conversation for you.

To recap, you should absolutely take the chance to watch Mecey in one of the 3 photokina shows on the Guido Karp Stage on Saturday. After that, come on Sunday and watch out for David at the California Sunbounce booth or at the Hensel booth. In trade fair coordinates:
Saturday
Guido Karp, Hall 9.1, booth A050/C058
Sunday
California Sunbounce, Hall 9.1 Booth C008/D008
Hensel, Hall 9.1 Booth A011/A019
He is a very nice guy so don’t be shy, just go talk to him and start by telling him that you are a cousin of mine - then he knows that you are part of our family.
