David Mecey - Lifetime of Creativity, 23+ years Playboy Photographer, Mecé Mag Founder
Episode 110
Friday, 1 May, 2026
In this episode of Sunrise Life, I had the pleasure of interviewing legendary photographer David Mecey, whose decades-long career includes shooting for Playboy and now running his own publication, Mecey Magazine. We dive into how he got his start—from a motorcycle accident that led him to pick up a camera, to cold-calling his way into the industry long before social media existed. David shares what it really took to succeed back then, the level of obsession and dedication required, and how that compares to today’s instant-access photography culture. We also talk about the evolution of glamour photography, the loss of technical artistry, and why he’s committed to preserving the classic, multi-light Playboy-style look. Along the way, he shares wild behind-the-scenes stories from shoots, insights into what makes a model truly stand out, and the importance of professionalism and trust on set. Whether you’re a model, photographer, or creative, this episode is packed with perspective, inspiration, and a bit of old-school magic Check out David Mecey, his workshops, magazine and more at https://mecemagazine.com/ Model in the thumbnail image is Lana West, April's "Model in the Middle" for Mece Magazine
