15: This is Leonard Walpot

Really excited to bring you the awesome Leonard Walpot for episode 15 of the This is Reportage Podcast! Based in the Netherlands, Leonard was joint-second overall on our Top Photographers of 2019 - and actually won more Reportage Awards than anyone else; a remarkable feat. Join us on the episode as Leonard has so much to share, including: • how he enjoys the business side of wedding photography too, • the story behind one of his specific Reportage Awards (the girl lying down in the ceremony), • his journey from linguist graduate to wedding photographer, • working with his wife, • what, to him, is the most important thing in life, • his political photography and how that affects his wedding work, • why we should look at other fields of photography, • a certain event that impacted his career, • his workflow and how he edits, • the importance of taking a step back from your work, • how he uses flash, • why you should watch 1917, • the importance of having a mentor, • balancing being a father and a business-owner, • how he created Best Men Weddings with Jesse van Kalmthout, • who he would be if he could be someone else for a day, • what he's afraid of, • the benefits of a business coach, • his tips for starting out in the industry, • and much more...
