Do You Wanna Take My Picture?

Edgar David

There are some photographers which can captivate our imagination looking at their photographs. Recently, I found an amazing one from Puerto Rico (now residing in Baltimore, MD), his name is Edgar David. Edgar is a man of many talents, he is also The Purge Effect singer, the band I blogged about a while back.

Aspiring plus size model, Ana García, had a shoot with Edgar when she went to their concert in Baltimore. I saw the pics and was at awe! They were amazing! I always say the chemistry between the photographer, the model, and the location of the shoot are keys to great photos. I never knew this side of him.

David tells me he never identifies himself as a photographer. He is a musician and sound engineer, with a passion for moving images and a deep interest in cinematography. His foray into photography is a very recent one. So recent, he doesn’t have any photographs taken by himself in the past decade at all!

  Eventually, he ended up buying a Canon DSLR camera, with the sole purpose of using it for it's video capabilities and it's film-like images, rather than the original use intended for the equipment. Then the opportunity arose... his boss' niece needed a portfolio to pursue a modeling path, and she wanted him to take her photos. The pictures turned out beautiful. What I like about the photos is that he tries not to edit them beyond a simple skin cleanup and makeup enhancement, and tries to leave proportions as natural as possible.

I have always thought photography records the feelings written on the human face and the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited!

Blessings to all,
