Don’t let Joe DiMaggio’s Leprechaun-like face and broad grin fool you. As author Booth Tarkington remarked, “Take your work seriously, but never take yourself seriously.” DiMaggio is serious about his work. He also is a veritable dynamo and a rich font of photographic information and lore. If you are lucky enough to draw Joe as your instructor at a photo course, such as Popular Photography’s Workshop Series, he will challenge you to draw upon skills you never knew you had. The irony of conducting workshops, according to DiMaggio, is that his students think they are learning from him. “The fact is,” Joe says, “I’m the one who is learning from – and being rejuvenated by – them.

Where it all started.
DiMaggio’s long-standing affair with photography began the day, at age nine, when he picked up his grandfather’s Kodak folding bellows camera. Later, his aunt bought him his own Kodak Brownie box camera, not suspecting that she was helping to launch a career of notable achievement.” Joe DiMaggio considers himself a photographic “generalist,” so it’s quite likely that you have encountered his photographs along the way. They have graced magazine covers, advertising campaigns, corporate communications, books and newspapers. But despite a lifetime of photography as work, DiMaggio can’t disguise that he is having more fun than a kid with a new toy. His love of photography shines through his conversation, his teaching and, most of all, through his photographs.
