Episode 44 - Joe McNally Interview

Joe McNally has been writing a book for the last two years. He’s been thinking about it for the last five. And living it for the last 40, as an internationally acclaimed photographer whose award-winning work has appeared in numerous magazines, including National Geographic, Time, LIFE, Sports Illustrated, and more. In The Real Deal: Field Notes from the Life of a Working Photographer, McNally, a Nikon Ambassador, tells you how it all started in 1976 as a Daily News copyboy (“the wretched dog of the newsroom”), and candidly shares stories, lessons, and insights he has collected along the way. The Real Deal is not a dedicated how-to book about “where to put the light,” though there is instructional information to be gleaned here. Instead, it's simply a collection of candid “field notes”—some short, some quite long—gathered over time that, together, become an intimate look behind the lens at a photographer who has pretty much seen and done it all.
