Great shot. Love the light.
Beautiful, classic beauty, reminds me of Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner……great soft light…
Thank you This model is gorgeous!
Simply Lovely!
what a gorgeous shot. you have inspired me Joe, to scrape together a wee lighting kit so i can make better pictures. i came you your One-light Two-light seminar in Toronto last year, and i’m down the rabbit hole of off-camera flash now. i love it down here. this light is beautiful. wish i could come to Van.
enjoy it there. i’ve lived in Vancouver. they say you can golf in the morning and ski in the afternoon. but i never have done that in the same day. i doubt many Vancouverites have either. but they all say it!
cheers to you sir!
Beautiful shot!
Thanks for the workshop, witnessing how you construct a variety of different shots from scratch was really inspiring. I learnt a great deal and had tons of fun shooting :).

Fantastic lighting. I may have something more profound to add one day, just not today
Another amazing ‘light from outside the window’ portrait – thanks for sharing Joe!
DC you say? What’s it take to get you to stop by a bar for a beer while you’re here?
CLS, SC29 or PW? A tish of CTO perhaps?
Thanks for the ongoing inspiration.
Cheers,
Marv
Oh man – such incredibly soft light – landing like a butterfly with sore feet. Outstanding.
And without a 10 foot octabox and $USD 4K of mono packs – you continue to amaze us all.
Thanks for sharing this gorgeous example Joe! Looking forward for next Saturday as I am signed up for your one-day workshop at VPW. I am sure it will be a treat!
In the mean time I am going through your Sketching Light book as I can could always use a head start 😉
cheers!
Thanks for coming to Vancouver Joe. Watching you work shots over 2 days was like listening to great jazz musician improvising. You, Cali and the rest of the support crew from Vancouver Photo Workshops made it a great experience, one I’d repeat in a heartbeat.
I hope all goes well in Washington and you get a little time to recharge. I think those VPW guys worked you like a rented donkey ;-).
Be well
Hi Joe,
According to the EXIF Data, this was your 37,343 shutter actuation on this D4. You are a busy, busy Artist.
By the way, it also says the shutter speed was 1/400th. FP High Speed Sync?
Thanks.
Enjoying our fine Vancouver rain? 😉
Wicked to have you in town!
I had the great pleasure of attending one of the McNally seminars last week and found the content very informative. And I was pleasantly surprised when the famous Joe McNalley went around the whole audience before the event began and shook every person’s hand. In addition to being a great teacher, you’re a classy guy Joe McNally!
Wooow lovely!
Great lighting setup. Im always thinking before i go out on a shoot, what light should i take with me. Do i cram the softboxes in the car, take a reflector or just use whats there when i arrived. I mainly end up using flash but it slows down my work flow. You seem to have a great handle on light joe.
Nice pictures really! Thank you for sharing. Lighting is phenomenal.
Joe you are so awesome!
Gorgeous lighting. Beautiful shot.
Joe I love the info you share with us. Thank you. Do you ever hold work shops working with older film gear? I would love to attend one.
Best,
Tom Freeland
