Scott Mc Kiernan
With over 30 years of wide-ranging experience in photojournalism, Scott Mc Kiernan built a successful career as a photojournalist shooting page-one stories for major magazines such as Paris Match, Stern, Newsweek and People Weekly. While being an active shooter, he branched into editing before founding ZUMA Press and becoming the agent to some of the most respected photojournalists in the world.
Representing over 1,200 professionals worldwide, plus dozens of large dailies, ZUMA Press is now the largest independent picture agency and wire service.
Mc Kiernan launched two new initiatives in 2004: DOUBLEtruck Magazine, the ultimate showcase of cutting-edge photojournalism; and zReportage.com, the high-end, premium photojournalism service for stories that need to be told. In 2005, he co-founded BIGwednesdayshow.com, a monthly gathering for photojournalists and a non-profit organization to help aspiring photojournalists.
Given his breadth of experience, Mc Kiernan is often called upon to speak at photo industry events worldwide. In 2005 alone, he spoke at a dozen seminars and conferences and served as a judge for the NPPA's Best of Photojournalism competition and the Second Annual Lucie Awards. As part of Mc Kiernan's commitment to giving back to the industry that has given him so much, he serves as an instructor of "Cutting-Edge Photojournalism" at the University of California Los Angeles, where has taught for the past five years.
Mc Kiernan is a BFA graduate of Hartford Art School in Connecticut. He also studied at the School of Visual Arts, the Rhode Island School of Design and completed postgraduate work at the News School of Social Research. Mc Kiernan remains an active shooter today.
