“The best photographs move you—emotionally, intellectually, spiritually. There’s almost a visceral reaction to a really striking photograph that communicates on all those levels.” Joe McNally has been described as “perhaps the most versatile photojournalist working today,” a distinction earned for his ability to capture compelling images in locations as diverse as an operating room, the top of the Empire State Building and the cockpit of a jet aircraft. Noted for his technical mastery, what makes him unique is his ability to create and imaginatively render “the big idea”—the unique or startling concept that frames a single image or a long-term project. He has been published in virtually every major magazine, including Life, Newsweek, Time and Sports Illustrated (where he was a contract photographer for six years) and is a recipient of the Alfred Eisenstadt Award for outstanding magazine photography.
