During this time of the pandemic where so many of us found ourselves locked within the confines of our homes, the Living Room Tour was hosted with the goal of bridging the gap and bringing Living Rooms from around the globe closer to you.
“What started as an experiment really, turned into an interesting moment for all of us involved. We were shifting living room to living room around the globe, in a matter of seconds all at the same time. It can only get better from here and I look forward to the next milestone”, says Kunel Gaur, Founder of Veu + Animal

THE LIVING ROOM TOUR INSIGHTS
“The beauty of the virtual meetup & photoshoot was that I’ve met most of the models that were represented from the 10 countries over the years in-person at our PoP meetups; Acida from Colombia, Gigi from Argentina, Amy from Norway, Brenda from Kenya, Mae from Indonesia, Sakshi from India, Camila from Brazil, Liana from USA to name a few. And now thanks to the pandemic, hundreds of creators were able to tune-in, network, connect and create remotely amplifying an event with a online reach of millions.
During this time of uncertainty when we find ourselves on the threshold of the physical & the virtual, the future of experiential is being challenged and it was essential for PoP to embrace this emerging marketplace to provide value for our community and partners alike. By the end of the day, I want to make sure we are still creating impact and making a difference in the lives of our tribe of diverse creators, globally”, says Saunak Shah, Founder of Pursuit of Portraits
