	The Founder
After a 23 history of working at Playboy® magazine as both staff and contributing photographer, David has come to be known as one of the finest photographers for shooting beauty in the world. With his clients including noted makeup, lingerie, swimwear, celebrities, and sportswear manufacturers worldwide, including over 50 covers, he brings to them his background for photographing women with both style and sensuality. (David currently has two exhibitions running in Europe). With that, some two years ago, David began a workshop series he calls FotoFantasyCamp®, that has grown into one, if not the premier how-to photo workshop and seminar in the world today. Having been featured in American PHOTO at the very first camp, David brings 10 photographers together at some fantastic location for four days of intensive training in his style of lighting, posing, rapport with models, importance of locations, crew, etc. With his experienced team, gorgeous models, and with David at their side, these photographers can experience the reality of shooting at the professional level while gathering tons of information to use once they’re back home. David’s work can be seen on his website at www.davidmecey.com. David continues to live and work out of Venice, CA.
