133: This is Shane O'Neill

My guest this week is one of Ireland's very best documentary wedding photographers: The fab Shane O'Neill. Winner of 6 Reportage Awards and 2 Story Awards, speaker at the inaugural Doc Day, and all-round lovely guy, Shane shares so much on the episode, including: *how he got into documentary at college, and getting his first wedding, *getting in the zone when shooting back-to-backs, *something we don't talk about too much: group shots and couple time, *working with videographers, *the story behind one of his specific Reportage Awards, *workflow, *why images in 16:9 format can be so effective (like in one of his Story Awards), *tips for if you're feeling a bit stagnant, *speaking at Doc Day (and why you should attend the next one) *and so much more... Head to https://thisisreportage.com/podcast-episode-133-this-is-shane-oneill/ for a link through to his website, to see the brilliant Reportage Award he spoke about, and also one of his Story Awards that's all in 16:9 format, which is just brilliant as well.
