We are thrilled to announce that legendary photographer Joe McNally will be speaking exclusively to the VanArts Digital Photography students next week, before presenting to a sold-out crowd on November 16th for a Vancouver Photo Workshops event.

Internationally acclaimed and widely respected, Joe's prolific career has spanned 30 years and included such prestigious credits as cover stories for TIME Magazine, Fortune and Newsweek, and contracts with Sports Illustrated, LIFE and the coveted National Geographic...to name just a few. He's a generous and talented speaker who tours the world to give photography seminars, and is an accomplished author, having published four books to date including: The Moment It Clicks, The Hot Shoe Diaries and LIFE Guide to Digital Photography: Everything You Need to Shoot Like the Pros. 

This is a rare and priceless opportunity for the photography students to spend some quality time learning from Joe's vast experience. We are so excited and honored to welcome Joe McNally to VanArts!

Check out Joe's blog (which is always entertaining and downright addictive) and his photography (which will knock your socks off!) at www.joemcnally.com.
