• Raw Podcast - EP55 - A conversation with Jay Doherty

  How do you introduce someone who’s practically part of the furniture in Irish photography? Jay Doherty’s name is woven through so many corners of the industry it’s almost become folklore – from creating the much-loved Learning to Fly retreat to bringing Doc Day to a close each year with his signature style.Jay’s a photographer who doesn’t just take pictures; he lives and breathes his craft. He’s curious, restless, and fiercely passionate about learning – but what makes him stand out is how much he loves seeing others grow. We talk about where that drive comes from, how he’s helped shape a community of photographers, and what’s next for him.Expect plenty of laughs, insights into the Irish photography scene, and a good few moments where you might find yourself asking, “What would Jay do?”Grab a bottle of Football Special and settle in – this one’s worth the listen.Photographers to CheckoutRich GilliganSimon murphy - https://www.youtube.com/@simonmurphy265/Harry Borden https://www.harryborden.com/Follow us on Instagram:@therawpodcast@davidmcclellandphotography@moathillphotography

• Raw Podcast - EP54 - A conversation with Martin Ellard

  Episode 54 – A conversation with Martin EllardThis week’s guest is Martin Ellard – a documentary wedding photographer based in South Wales with one of the most varied and fascinating paths into the industry we’ve heard yet.Martin’s background takes us from the offices of Magnum Photos, where he somehow managed to land a one-on-one with the legendary Elliott Erwitt, through years spent on the front lines as a press photographer, and on to commercial gigs before finding his home in wedding photography.We chat about what each of those roles taught him, how they’ve shaped the way he sees and shoots, and why the documentary approach speaks to him most. There’s plenty about the realities of press work, the pace and politics of editorial assignments, and the shift in mindset that comes with photographing a wedding day instead of a protest or breaking news.We also touch on his personal projects, zine-making, and whether he’s planning more. And of course, there’s gear talk, stories from the field, and plenty of odd tangents too.A thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation with someone who’s been around the block and still sees photography with a beginner’s curiosity. We could’ve gone on for hours, we probably will next time.Show Links.Martin’s Wedding Work https://www.martinellardweddingphotography.co.uk/Martin’s Commercial Work https://www.martinellardphotography.co.uk/Chris Killip https://www.chriskillip.com/Sebastião Salgado https://www.icp.org/browse/archive/constituents/sebasti%C3%A3o-salgadoJoey’s Shots YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@JOEYSSHOTSBristol Books on Photography https://bopbristol.org/Follow us on Instagram:@therawpodcast @davidmcclellandphotography @moathillphotography

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.

• 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

• Raw Podcast - EP51 - A conversation with Paul Williams

  Episode 51 – A conversation with Paul Williams (Gingerbeard Photography)In this episode, we sit down with Paul Williams – though you’ll probably know him better as Gingerbeard Photography. With over 22 years of experience in photography and videography, Paul has built a name for himself with a style that blends honest documentary with a touch of editorial flair.We chat through his journey from office life to full-time photographer, the early spark that came from a film production course, and how second-shooting a friend’s wedding changed everything. Paul shares his thoughts on branding, film photography, and the gear he loves (spoiler: he’s a Leica man). 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. It’s an open, insightful chat with one of the good ones.Show Links.Paul’s Wedding Insta - https://www.instagram.com/gingerbeardweddingsPaul’s Personal Insta - https://www.instagram.com/gingerbeard_photoFollow us on Instagram:@therawpodcast@davidmcclellandphotography@moathillphotographyMentionsElliott Erwitt - https://www.elliotterwitt.com(Branding etc) Tom Wright - https://www.instagram.com/bytomwDaniel Knight Harris - https://www.danielknightharris.comNaomi Goggins - https://www.naomigogginphoto.comHis wedding photographer - https://damianbrandon.com
