The Darkroom Podcast was born to tell the founding stories behind some of the world’s most influential creators, artists and entrepreneurs: highlighting their failures, experiences and visions for the future. Our host Dane Deaner gets to the root of how these creators went from an idea to building large scale companies and personal brands.

episode 34: @yungbludlau | Falling Into Place with Bon Appétit Photographer Alex Lau
In this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we had the pleasure to speak with the Staff Photographer for Bon Appétit Magazine Alex Lau. Having traveled the world for his shoots, Alex’s work has been featured on the cover and in the pages of Bon Appétit’s most impressive editions showcasing some of the most sought after cuisines. We get to hear about how Alex hustled his way into his current and former jobs: taking multiple buses, trains and yes… even hiding his belongings under toilets to catch an interview. Alex tells us what it is like to be around (and to eat) some of the most popular foods and how he was able to break into the space. As an artist, Alex could be working with any top clients in the industry but he explains why working at Bon Appétit is such a unique opportunity.
