Episode 109: Joe McNally Is The Real Deal

Joe McNally, who humbly refers to himself as a “working photographer,” has shot everything from high-concept editorial to the Olympic games, and established a reputation as one of the most generous photographers in the business. We talked with Joe about his dogged start on the streets of 1970s New York City and how he’s built his career, which he chronicles in his new book, The Real Deal: Field Notes from the Life of a Working Photographer (https://rockynook.com/shop/photography/the-real-deal/ref/251/?campaign=pcom).
