  Episode 53 - The Photowalk with Bermingham CamerasA break from the norm this week.This episode was recorded during our photo walk through Dublin in association with Bermingham Cameras. It’s a mix of sound bites and conversations, capturing moments from the day and voices from across the photography community.We talk about the value of connection, the supportiveness of the scene in Ireland, and what it means to be open and approachable in the industry. There’s a bit of fun, a bit of reflection, and a strong sense that community really does matter – no matter what stage you’re at.And a quick word from Brian – whose love of horse racing and charity work added something unexpected and heartfelt to the day. Thanks again to Berminghams for making this all possible.Show Links.Mentioned in this podcastIf you would like to sponsor Brian for his upcoming Pat Smullen Charity Race please : visit this link here@berminghamcameras@johngillooley@derycktormey@forgedinlovephotography@[email protected]@lisachonierFollow us on Instagram:⁠@therawpodcast⁠⁠@davidmcclellandphotography⁠⁠@moathillphotography⁠

• Raw Podcast - EP52 - A conversation with Janina Brocklesby

  Episode 52 – A conversation with Janina Brocklesby (Reportage Studios)This week we’re joined by Janina Brocklesby – one half of Reportage Studios and someone whose work manages to hit that sweet spot between honest, emotional and, quite often, properly funny. Her images have a real heart to them – shaped by culture, personality and the chaos of a wedding day in full swing.We talk about how she got started in photography and the early days of setting up Reportage Studios. There’s plenty of chat about the realities of working as a duo, travelling for weddings across the UK and beyond, and how different cultural backgrounds have shaped the way she approaches the job.She’s going to be speaking at Doc Day next year – so we dig into how that’s feeling, and the nerves and excitement that come with stepping onto a stage rather than behind a lens.There’s also a really personal and powerful part of the conversation where Janina opens up about the recent passing of her brother. She talks with such grace about wanting the day of his funeral photographed, and how important that felt. The photographer she asked, by the way, was none other than past guest Ronan Palliser – not sure if we mentioned that during the chat, so worth saying here.We also dive into gear choices, the tension between documentary and editorial styles, the pressure of trends, and whether awards are worth the bother. Social media comes up too – whether it’s a useful tool or just something that gets in the way.A wide-ranging, honest chat with a photographer who truly cares about people, stories, and the moments that matter.Show Links.Reportage Studios - https://reportage-studios.com/Follow us on Instagram:@therawpodcast@davidmcclellandphotography@moathillphotography

He also talks about the realities of the job – the burnout, the busyness, and why delivering prints still matters.There’s plenty in here for anyone working in or around weddings – from destination gigs and personal projects to editing workflows and using AI to lighten the load.

  Episode 50 – Ryan DevereuxFor our 50th episode, we sat down with Ryan Devereux — a man who’s quietly carved out a space as one of Ireland’s most respected wedding photographers. You’ll probably know his work even if you don’t know his name. Ryan is someone who lets the photographs do the talking, and they speak volumes — honest, considered and full of atmosphere.In this conversation, we trace Ryan’s journey from a call centre desk to the chaos of back-to-back wedding weekends. He talks about the early pull of photography, a hand-me-down camera from a family member, and the moment he realised he had an eye for it. We dive into everything from the artistic roots that shaped his style, to navigating the peaks and troughs of the industry and why he’ll always accept a cup of tea from the mother of the bride.There’s plenty here for anyone trying to balance commercial work with creative exploration — from his passion for film photography and street work, to personal projects and cultural festivals that offer a different kind of challenge. He’s honest about the burnout, the busyness, and the beauty of this job, and it makes for a rich, wide-ranging chat.Highlights include:• Ryan’s path into photography• Why personal projects are essential for growth• The ongoing tug between digital and film• Balancing technical evolution with creative integrity• The quiet artistry of capturing cultural festivals• Tips on navigating wedding season without losing your mind• Why breaks, bad photos, and bizarre festivals matterShow Links.Ryan Wedding Insta https://www.instagram.com/ryandevereux.weddings/Ryan’s Personal Insta https://www.instagram.com/ryandevereux/His amazing blog on La Feria de Abrill https://www.ryandevereux.ie/blog/la-feria-de-abril-x100viMartin Ellard’s Zines https://www.martinellardphotography.co.uk/martin-ellard-published-photography-zines/Dave Cremin https://www.instagram.com/dave_creminAnd Ryan’s recommendation on who to check out - Sinna Nasseri AKA Strange Victory  https://www.instagram.com/strange.victory/Follow us on Instagram:@therawpodcast@davidmcclellandphotography@moathillphotography

• Raw Podcast - EP49 - A conversation with Tim Millen

  Episode 49 – Tim Millen (This Modern Love)In this episode, we chat with Tim Millen — the creative mind behind This Modern Love, and a man who lives a bit of a double life. By day, he’s a wedding photographer capturing real moments with honesty and heart. But when the cameras are down, you’ll find him in the studio painting — a slower, more solitary process that gives him space to reflect and create differently.We talk about everything from his childhood influences and the cousin who handed down a photojournalist’s camera, to the artistic contrast between film and digital, painting and photography. There’s loads here about creative constraints, the pressures of the job, and the little things that keep us going — like staying hydrated and knowing when to drive less.Highlights include: • The parallels between painting and photography • Why setting creative rules can be freeing • Balancing commercial work with personal projects • Shooting weddings on film in a digital world • What the Helsinki Bus Station Theory has to do with finding your style • Building rapport and capturing silent moments • Working through wedding nerves — especially when shooting fellow photographers weddings. • The ongoing journey of maintaining passion in a saturated industryShow Links.https://www.thismodernlove.co.uk/https://www.timmillen.com/Helsinki Bus Station Theory – Arno Rafael MinkkinenBuzzFeed Feature – “The Most Beautiful Wedding Photos Ever”Kirsten LewisFollow us on Instagram:@therawpodcast@davidmcclellandphotography@moathillphotography@thismodernlovephoto
