Behind the Scenes: Joe McNally

We had a different form of advanced techniques class today.  Joe McNally came and we watched as he worked with 3 ballerinas from Stephens College.  It was pretty interesting watching him work.  We got to see a master at work, and the dancers got free portraits.  Not a bad deal.  Here are a few photos from behind the scenes.
