Nikon Club Members Go Face-To-Face With Joe McNally

Kuala Lumpur, August 22, 2012 – It’s not often that photo enthusiasts get face-time with an internationally-acclaimed photographer listed as one of the 100 Most Important People in Photography.  However, 90 passionate Nikon Club members did just that when they got to spend a day with Joe McNally, an award-winning expert who has shot cover stories for TIME, Fortune, LIFE, The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Men’s Journal and many more.

The Nikon Club members received exclusive invitations to participate in the recent Nikon Photography Workshop where they had the opportunity to interact with Joe McNally, who shared his photographs and videos shots, photographic tips, reviews and critiques throughout his whole photography journey. And of course, there was also time to have a photo taken with Joe McNally and get his autograph at the end of the day.

“The objective of this gathering is to connect Nikon Club members through photography. The Nikon Club provides a platform for Nikon users to share, learn and grow together via events such as get-togethers, walkabouts and workshops. We are truly privileged to have internationally acclaimed photographer Mr. Joe McNally in our presence today,” said Mr. David Ng, General Manager of Consumer Products Marketing Department, Nikon Malaysia.

Among the numerous awards Joe McNally has received include honours from American Photo, Communication Arts, the World Press Photo Foundation and American Photo.
