Mustache Freaks by Dave mead

Mustache Freaks

Mustache is that facial hair grown on the outer surface of the upper lip. It may or may not be accompanied by a type of beard, a facial hair style grown and cropped to cover most of the lower half of the face. The word “moustache” derives from 16th century French moustache, which in turn is derived from the Italian mostaccio. 

Dave Mead is an Austin, Texas-based (why I’m not surprised?) photographer who shoots advertising and editorial with a primary focus on the weird and unusual. If you follow us, you probably noticed that we have a very peculiar taste, I’ll take weird and unusual as a compliment.
In high school, good grades, bad haircuts and a budding interest in the creative arts were in his mix.  Dave studied advertising and learned how to bounce a quarter into a shot glass from across a room.  Blindfolded (I can do that upside down!). Having learned all he needed to know, Dave headed back to Austin, where a decade of producing TV commercials and being surrounded by great advertising led him to the world of photography.
