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 a location that has a lot of sunlight it can be hard to find a good spot that will avoid hard shadows on your subject.  In this episode filmed on location in Guanajuato Mexico, Joe McNally will use different techniques and equipment that will help diffuse the lighting, creating a much softer photograph for more flattering outdoor portrait photography.
