Saunak Shah is the Founder and Creative Director of Pursuit of Portraits, a global creative collective and community of portrait-lovers. What started as an Instagram account to showcase portrait photography, @pursuitofportraits has grown into a movement connecting hundreds of thousands of creatives around the world. We recorded this episode while Saunak was in Brazil as part of his one-year Global Pursuit, where he traveled to 5 continents, 21 countries and held over 50 photography meetups, often traveling to places where resources and opportunities are limited. Over 500 people showed up in Nairobi for the 1-day #pursuitofportraits event. He reminds us that while there is no substitute for hard work, we can all dare to dream.
