122: This is Dries Renglé

Finally I interview the man who has been mentioned by *so many* of my previous Podcast guests: The fab Dries Renglé! Dries is one of Belgium's very best wedding photographers, was 7th in the World on TiR for 2021, has won 13 awards from us, and, as I mentioned, has been spoken about on so many of our previous episodes - he was even brought up at NineDots in London, which I just returned from last week (and it's the reason why my voice is so hoarse, actually, totally lost it there!), within the fab Sanne De Block's mainstage presentation. So fab to finally manage to chat to the man himself, who has had such a big impact on a lot of very talented photographers' lives. Dries talks about so much on the episode today, including: *why it's so important to shoot and show what you love, *how he captured one of his Reportage Awards, *tips on shooting portraits and couple time, *his previous life in animation, *shooting his very first wedding (which was his sister's!) *being part of the Mind The Moment collective and the workshops they do, *and much more... Please note this interview was recorded a few months ago, so excuse us if there are any time-related things discussed that may not be so relevant now (including the mention of a heatwave, which definitely is not happening now we're almost in December!). Head to https://thisisreportage.com/podcast-episode-122-this-is-dries-rengle/ for a link to his website, a link to his Mind The Moment Collective and workshop, to see the Reportage Award he spoke about, and also to watch the animation he created as well - which is realy great!
