Matching the right light for portraiture, whether it’s beautiful soft light or hard dramatic light, can be a challenge regardless of your experience level. What if your subject is wearing glasses? Or has an older, chiseled face? Or a youthful, round face? With so many shooting options and situations to deal with, now you’ll have a chance to not only try out a variety of light shapers—such as the luxurious big Octas, beauty dishes, and strip lights—but also watch the master of lighting at work in the same scenarios—Joe McNally.

Biography:
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.
McNally regularly writes a popular, occasionally irreverent blog joemcnally.com/blog about the travails, tribulations and high moments of being a photographer, and has authored several noteworthy books on photography. While his work notably springs from the time-honored traditions of magazine journalism, McNally has also adapted to the Internet driven media world, and was recently named as one of the ‘Top 5 Most Socially Influential Photographers’ by Eye-Fi. His work and his blog are regularly cited in social media surveys as sources of inspiration and industry leadership. He is also among the rare breed of photographer who has bridged the world between photojournalism and advertising, amassing an impressive commercial and advertising client list including FedEx, Nikon, Epson, Sony, and the American Ballet Theater.
A sought-after workshop instructor and lecturer, McNally has taught at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, the Eddie Adams Workshop, the National Geographic Society, Smithsonian Institution, the Annenberg Space for Photography, Syracuse University, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the U.S. Department of Defense. Recently, he was named as a Nikon USA Ambassador, an honor that has a special significance for him, as he bought his first Nikon camera in 1973, and has proudly shot the Nikon system for over forty years.
