Joe McNally visited Penn State

Joe McNally came and visited Penn State last Friday. Gave a great light workshop. He recognized my face from when I saw him in Vegas a few months ago at Photoshop World and asked me to help grip for him during the workshop. Got to hold some diffusers and a softbox for him, which was pretty fun. He lit a really great shot of a Penn State student modelling for him in the theater in about 15 minutes. He’s so enthusiastic and he gets so into it. His mind never stops coming up with ideas. Really motivating and inspiring.

Saw him again on the sidelines of the football game the next day with his wife. Great guy.

Update: Joe’s blog about his visit here. You can see some of the shots he took during the session. He seemed to really enjoy Penn State.
