On October 6, Founder & Director, Syl Arena of Paso Robles Workshops brought Joe McNally & the "Hot Shoe Diaries" photography workshop out to Harris Stage Lines to use us as a location shoot. Joe McNally is an internationally acclaimed photographer, whose career has spanned 30 years and included assignments in over 50 countries. Although the majority of his career has been spent shooting for magazines such as Time, Sports Illustrated, and National Geographic, in the mid-1990s Joe served as Life magazine’s staff photographer, the first one in 23 years. He also has shot commercial assignments for Target, Nikon, and Sony, to name a few. Joe is a recipient of several prestigious awards. We provided some wardrobe, horses, & a few models for the photography students to use at the different sites of our property. It was very educational to watch Mr McNally show the students how to create the correct lighting for their subject & location. In this picture of our Morgan horse, Molly, is Mr. McNally on the right, helping to get the correct lighting onto a black horse inside our old barn. We are always available to provide our horses and horse drawn equipment for the film industry. We have enjoyed training & preparing our horses for the different enviroments used in the film industry, and also working with the actors, models, etc.
