I get a ton of inspiration and incite from Joe McNally. With his 30 plus years in the field of photography, he is one of the most down to earth, tell it like it is, photographers. Joe has also been described as "Perhaps one of the most versatile photojournalist working today", by a major publication. Joe has shot numerous cover stories for several publications including TIME, Sports Illustrated, LIFE, and the National Geographic He has been a contract photographer for Sports Illustrated, a staff photographer at LIFE, and is currently a 23 year contributor to the National Geographic.
Joe has several honors that range from Kodak and Nikon, to World Press Photo Foundation and many more. He also won the very first Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Journalist Impact for a LIFE coverage. Joe's work helped generate $2 Million dollars for the relief efforts of 9/11. His fine art work is considered to be one of the most important endeavors to evolve from the 9/11 tragedy. The National Portrait Gallery of the United States has a collection of his prints. Joe also has a publication coverage that was deemed noteworthy enough to be incorporated into the archives of the Library of Congress.
Joe has written two books, The Moment It Clicks, and The Hot Shoe Diaries, both of which keep your attention and interest to a point you find yourself unable to put them down. If you haven't read these books, I highly recommend you do so. I don't often highly recommend to people they do something, but this is a must.
Joe has several advertising and commercial clients including FedEx, Sony, Nikon, Land's End, General Electric, MetLife, Adidas, American Ballet Theater, and the Wildlife Conservation Society, among others.
