McNally is an award-winning, industry-leading photographer whose work includes five cover stories for National Geographic<\/em> and seven covers for LIFE magazine. McNally has covered five Olympics for major media outlets such as ABC Television, Sports Illustrated, <\/em>and TIME Magazine. He won the first Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Journalistic Impact. He is also a proud Nikon<\/a> Ambassador. McNally is a funny, charming, and extremely knowledgeable guest on Coffee With Creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He likes his coffee black, with two sugars. In his chat with Seth, McNally emphasizes that photography is a “quest.” It is something internal to a photographer’s character, this driving force to create. Says McNally, “….I’m like a radioactive cockroach. I’ll come out on top of the rubble. I’ll look around, and I’ll say, ‘Who needs a picture?’ Because you can’t kill us. Because we love what we do so much.” Seth and Joe talk about inspirations, ranging from the Dutch painters with their “Irish pub light” to Frank Frazetta to the superhero worlds of DC and Marvel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McNally is known for his storytelling approach to photography, and viewers can learn a lot from his discussion of the similarity between comic book “hero” panels and photographing athletes. It is fascinating to hear McNally talk about how “light speaks like language.” Even with all of the new technology available to photographers, Joe reiterates that there will always be the quest for the photo that speaks and has its own “memory.” This conversation between Seth and Joe is a rich opportunity to hear a master of the craft explain why photography is so important, why images become iconic, and what it takes to become a legend in the business.<\/p>\n\n\n
