Joe McNally is also known world-wide for his unmatched visual creativeness and extraordinary imagination. He is calm under pressure and excels in the field whether it is a portrait of a celebrity or corporate CEO to an unwieldy fashion shoot with a crew of 60.Joe McNally’s credit list includes FIVE covers of the National Geographic, (amongst an overall 15coverages for the magazine), SEVEN Covers of Life Magazine and FOUR successful Olympic coverages as he looks ahead to number FIVE with Paris 2024 approaching. McNally has also climbed the Empire State Building 4x and the Burj Khalifa tower 2x. A proud Nikon Ambassador, he is the rare photographer to make the bridge between photojournalism and commercial photography and has the distinct ability to come away with a photograph no matter the twist or turns he might encounter on assignment.Check out some of Joe's incredible work below!All photos are property of Joe McNally https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/967002e0-7468-11f1-a87c-552e322304e6-rimg-w740-h740-dc010103-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/969a2020-7468-11f1-b452-0f2e0e513fce-rimg-w740-h740-dc150701-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/96d97310-7468-11f1-a6ed-5146a8713f7b-rimg-w740-h740-dc4f4a4d-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/971320b0-7468-11f1-a87c-552e322304e6-rimg-w493-h740-dc151515-gmir.jpg Get Connected with Joe McNallyInstagram: @joemcnallyphotoWebsite: joemcnally.comX: @JoeMcNallyPhotoFacebook: /joemcnallyphotoYouTube: joemcnallyphotoLinkedIn: joemcnallyphotoSponsored by: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/97435870-7468-11f1-b452-0f2e0e513fce-rimg-w1200-h384-dc000000-gmir.png Got FOMO?Adorama Events are back!
