There's nobody else in the world of photography quite like Joe McNally. A self confessed generalist, long-time documentary photographer, teacher to millions of photographers worldwide and bang-up nice bloke. 

Joe has shot 15 stories for National Geographic (including 5 cover stories), 7 covers for Life Magazine, 4 Olympic Games, with other clients including ABC television, Sports Illustrated, and Time Magazine. His portrait of Gail Devers won a World press Photo award in 1997, his photograph from the top of the worlds tallest building the Burj Kalifa went viral few years ago and his project, faces of Ground Zero, has helped to raise over $2million for the 9/11 relief effort.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with the Real Deal, Joe McNally.
