As the Covid-19 pandemic began to take its toll on the bridal industry, wedding photographer Desmond Tang found himself getting fewer and fewer jobs.

"A lot of jobs were put on hold, so I needed a creative outlet, one that didn't require me to be behind the camera," says Tang. After several attempts to find alternative work, he finally found an activity that he was passionate about and didn't mind spending hours on.
