Photoshop World - Orlando, Florida 2008
A description of some of the Photoshop World instructors that help me to increased and sounded my photography knowledge.
Instructor: Joe McNally
Joe McNally
is an internationally acclaimed American photographer and long-time photojournalist. From 1994 until 1998, he was LIFE magazine's staff photographer, the first one in 23 years. His most well known series is the "Faces of Ground Zero Giant Polaroid Collection," a collection of 246 giant Polaroid portraits shot in the Moby c Studio near Ground Zero in a three week period shortly after 9/11. A large group of these historic, compelling life-size (9x4') photos were exhibited in seven cities in 2002, seen by almost a million people. The sale of 55,000 copies of the exhibit book, printed by LIFE, raised over $2 million for the 9/11 relief effort. This collection is considered by many museum and art professionals to be the most significant artistic endeavor to evolve to date from the 9/11 tragedy.
