Raw Podcast - EP44 - A conversation with Shane O'Neill

The RAW Podcast – Episode 44 Guest: Shane O’Neill (Aspect Photography) Episode Summary In this episode, we sit down with the brilliant Shane O’Neill of Aspect Photography, one of Ireland’s most distinctive documentary wedding photographers. Known for his effortless, unposed style and his ability to capture real, unscripted moments with humour and authenticity, Shane has built a reputation for staying out of the way while telling powerful wedding stories. We talk about his journey into photography, how he found his style, and what draws him to documentary wedding work. Plus, we dive into his experience having none other than Martin Parr photograph his own wedding, what that was like, and how it shaped the way he sees wedding photography today. We also get into his approach to gear, editing, personal projects, and why he believes photographers shouldn’t overprotect their work. And of course, we chat about his love for photobooks, film cameras, and those offbeat projects that keep him inspired. This one’s packed with insights, laughs, and plenty of wisdom from a photographer who truly understands the power of storytelling.
