The Subtle Sins of David Mejias

I had a blast working with David on this shoot. He’s an Internationally recognized photographer whose work appears in many magazines + ad campaigns; so to have the camera turned at him was a rare occurrence.
After he booked today for his shoot, I emailed him to get his comments on what exactly he wanted to represent. His own personal work comes off as strange, deadpan, and invokes curiosity. Following this same theme, he came up with the idea that since he booked the 7th we could correlate that number with a portrait series for the 7 deadly sins, shot subtly from the shoulders up and using just expressions. (Pride, Envy, Greed, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth)
After meeting David in Boulder and grabbing a quick cup of coffee to further discuss the project and ideas further, we setup in his new office for the shoot. It was great to work with another photographer as we could feed off of each other’s ideas and ended up directing each other throughout.
David’s home is Boulder, CO but his freelance work can take him anywhere. Check out his work and website at http://davidmejias.com and definitely consider him for your next advertising or marketing campaign. His work is astounding.
