What happens backstage at RentCulture? ???? Here’s a peek at the time when we met Ali! We value authenticity and aim to capture the true essence of each person we interview. In Ali’s case, we met with him at his place of work, DTU - Technical University of Denmark , and took the time to get to know him beyond his title and accolades. In order to portray our fellow internationals living in Denmark as candidly as possible, we strive to create a relaxed and safe environment.? ? Misael, our Director of Photography and Visuals, describes his process: “I do everything I can to avoid that separation between subject and photographer. It’s important for me to be open and vulnerable and to relate to what they are saying.” ?? Check out some ‘behind the scenes’ moments that we shared with Ali. ?? You can find a link to our interview with Ali in the comments! ?? by Misael DTU Nanolab | DTU Electro | DTU Skylab | NanoPhoton - Center for Nanophotonics | Danish Quantum Community #RentCulture #DTU
