One-half of the 9-Dots wedding photography training community leadership team, he talks about the importance of finding a network of like-minded creatives, plus in the Story behind the Story, Rahul shares pictures of a more personal nature. The show starts with a story of negotiation, something waters that all creatives find comfortable to navigate, plus candid wedding photographer Paul Waring shares his Story of the Completely Unexpected.

Unpacking the why of wedding photography, 1000 Weddings is a podcast for new and established wedding photographers. It features international names who share creative, observational, marketing, and business advice. Today, a peak behind the scenes into an international photography market I'm not so familiar. We visit Singapore, guided by Eugene Tan, whose wedding company Bottled Groove has and is breaking some of the traditional norms of Asian wedding photography. On a personal level, we talk together about introversion, building a company during a time when a pandemic shut the world down, and why feelings resonate with potential clients.
