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«.

Representing over 900 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 »FOTONITE.org«, a monthly gathering for photojournalists and a non-profit organization to help aspiring photojournalists. 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.
