Joe McNally

Joe McNally is an internationally acclaimed photographer whose career has spanned more than 30 years and included assignments in 60 countries. McNally is often described as a generalist because of his ability to execute a wide range of assignment work. His expansive career has included being an ongoing contributor to the National Geographic – shooting numerous cover stories and highly complex, technical features for the past 25 years; a contract photographer for Sports Illustrated; as well as shooting cover stories for TIME, Newsweek, Fortune, New York, and The New York Times Sunday Magazine.

In this episode, Joe discusses the method he used to photograph a fisherman on the docks.

The key here is to provide a wrapping, soft, diffused light on a character driven subject. Joe shows how the Joe McNally Ezybox from Lastolite can provide that beautiful light, while also producing a natural, fading light down the subject.
