So happy for videos like this that show even the greats like Joe McNally build a shot step by step and even makes mistakes/changes along the way until he gets what he wants. So inspiring.

[@GavinHoey]

Just mesmerising to watch. I dream of having that level of previsualization 🔥

[@LastXwitness]

This was such a fun set to be on and it’s good to have you back on here Joe. Always think of you as the Spielberg of photo and all this imagination plus technique applied to a grimey location to create the scene/narrative you’re after proves it ! Thanks for having me Joe legit honor 🙏

[@josborne2186]

This is bloody genius, I could watch it all day. My favourite line ‘would she appear more dead if...’ but seriously, a real master at work.

[@neelsredphoto]

It's incredible watching Joe work. Great results and I love how he's not too good to say 'please' and 'thank you'. Well done to everyone involved. Thanks for sharing!

[@tahoeturk]

Once again proving you Joe are THE leading educator in the world of photography. So much relaxed fun on the set, so much craft and all in service of the story. This is hopefully the first in a long series.

[@cliflowry9433]

Really great opportunity to watch Joe McNally piece together the elements of the scene to produce a story within a picture. This is almost literally a picture that says a thousand words. Thank you.

[@GeorgetownThunder]

Joe is my hero of the photography world. If I could be half the photographer he is, my life would be complete.

[@arangodan]

What a treat! Thank you Adorama for letting see JoeMcNally work. He’s such a professional. Calm. Measured. Respectful. Talented. Bravo!

[@vtj2300]

Congrats, Adorama, best photography video ever produced on KZbin! I hope this will turn into a series!

[@JimKilgo]

Joe on the Go! Seth what a privilege to get to work on the set with him! Thanks, Adorama for having Joe! Bring him back for more!

[@marktomphotography]

The complexity and precision of this is truly inspiring.

[@keithpinn152]

Amazing. It is so enjoyable watching how Joe works through the development of a lighting recipe. Bring on more! Keith

[@williamborges3914]

Amazing! Thanks to Joe and everyone else on location! And, many more thanks to the decision makers at Adorama who make Adorama TV possible. What an incredible educational resource.

[@jpdj2715]

Joe illustrates you don't have to click-click mindlessly to make beautiful photos and in the process illuminates everybody with his deep knowledge of the technical side in a relaxed way. Fun.

[@shifteleven]

Yes. Please continue this saga! The images were great and loved how you built up the scene.

[@KenCannon]

So inspiring! Makes me want to grab camera and lights and go create! Great video, thanks to all involved.

[@SamuelRiveraFilms]

Wow this was incredible!! Thanks for sharing this and I hope to see more!

[@vic_the_roman]

Always great to see the master at work! Also it was awesome to see Seth involved in this shoot.

[@MikeNelsonPedde]

Joe is one of THE pre-eminent photographers in the world today, an absolute master of his craft, and yet to watch him work and he's so down to earth, so kind, so appreciative, so thankful, so supportive of everyone around him... it's just amazing. We should make him an honorary Canadian. 😏
