Podcast Episode 92: This is Ronan Palliser
Loved chatting to the fab Ronan Palliser for episode 92 of the Podcast! Ronan was 5th in Ireland on TiR for 2020, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him a few times now – he’s a really lovely guy, and he did one of the best conference talks I’ve ever seen as well. We talk about that on the episode today, as well as many other things, including:
why he’s ‘not just a bride or groom photographer’,
editing,
the stories behind a couple of his Reportage Awards,
our Netflix synopsis game,
how he typically works on a wedding day,
his involvement with the Irish Professional Photographers and Videographers Association
Instagram,
the definition of ‘documentary’,
and so much more…
