Raw Podcast - EP50 - A conversation with Ryan Devereux

Episode 50 – Ryan Devereux For 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 matter Show Links.Ryan Wedding Insta Ryan’s Personal Insta His amazing blog on La Feria de Abrill Martin Ellard’s Zines Dave Cremin And Ryan’s recommendation on who to check out - Sinna Nasseri AKA Strange Victory
