Boracay- A sneak peek | Aug 26th
Last night I was driving and hit a deer. No was hurt in the vehicle. The official police report reads-
“I (Joey lawrence) was driving home from Wasaga Beach along the highway at 10:15pm wwith another passenger, Sarena Favaro. The road was dark. We saw one deer cross the road ahead and exclaimed “good thing we didn’t hit that,” then suddenly, it’s dear friend who was hidden in the bushes jumped in front of the vehicle before I had time to react”
I am sick.
Not “sick” in the sense that young people use to today, as in the “wow that is some sickass dope shit” that is actually showing positive affection… I mean sick as in “you just made a joke about a deer you just murdered on a police report.”
It was just one of those things I couldn’t control. For once I was doing the speed-limit. I was paying attention, the music wasn’t too loud, and I wasn’t trying to crack my toes while driving. (I’m addicted to cracking my joints and stretching.) I am actually a responsible driver, I just had no time to react and I suppose it was nature’s will and time for our friend to go. It was a beautiful animal.
In other news I got an e-mail from my workshop coordinator Bobby Wong with some pictures from Boracay, which one of the places in the Philippines in which me and Manuel Librodo will be teaching. I’m really excited because aside from teaching and teaching people everything I know (even my earthly vices. sorry, you will be around me too long), I’m really looking forward to lying on that one beach after the workshop and relaxing before my trip to Africa. That will be grueling and intense, with the majority of it camping in a tent off the side of the rental jeep and eating out of a can of beans. I am very happy to do this, however. This is the best way to travel.
The majority of the workshop action will go down in Boracay since it is also a nice place to relax and full of subjects, but we will be shooting in remote fishing villiages as well. We are still looking for more participants so check out the mini-site here to register if you are interested. http://www.joeyL.com/lawrencelibrodo the Deer Hunter
G-Unit | Aug 17th
I was very happy with the simple concept that the magazine thought of… No street gangster stuff- business men.
As much as G-unit are extremely successful gangster rappers and one of the biggest rap acts out there right now, they got there because above the music they are also talented business men. 50 Cent the Vitamin Water, 50 Cent the video game, 50 Cent the movie, 50 Cent the ___… It goes on and on. It doesn’t matter what public image these guys portray- they are talented marketing gurus, rich as hell and Straight Outta ‘Southside. (Oh, and millions of people listen to their music.) So before you think of dissin the G’s, they have already schooled you in every way possible!!
The best picture from this shoot was not the posh group picture sitting around the caviar or the stern shots of 50 looking badass, it is the snapshot of 50 cent stabbing me in the neck with a butterknife. (while representin my home city Toronto.) J-unit
keep it real.
Ivan L:(Aug 17th - 09:44) Did they not Hill´s pictures?
Corey:(Aug 17th - 20:03) Looks like you´re enjoying yourself even on big-name shoots. That´s good to see. Too many photographers get caught up in the details and forget to step back and just enjoy doing what they busted their ass to get a chance to do!
MasterMind:(Aug 18th - 02:53) I like the pictures you took of 50 Cent and G-Unit, very nice...
Elena:(Aug 18th - 07:12) Great !!
Kirk McGirt:(Aug 18th - 07:55) ivan he said its for a magazine. Man joey how did you find that place with that cool ass chandelier?
Jason The Saj:(Aug 18th - 16:37) Do hope you got paid more than 50 cents for the photo shoot. And thankfully the butter knife didn´t cut too deep. *lol*
Richard:(Aug 18th - 20:06) Great images, as usual. The mood is well captured.
Mark:(Aug 19th - 06:45) Hi, great images. I was just wondering what kind of camera you use and were the table linens and knapkins used in this series pressed before the shoot.
LittleTees:(Aug 20th - 06:04) Great work!
santi:(Aug 21st - 09:31) I have seen thoroughly your page and your blog, they are the mejors portraits that I have never seen. THE treatment of some of them is really only(unique). I am a fan and have some works, simple. Might you say to me that they seem to you? Http: // www.fotosbrujas.com
Thomas Ridout:(Aug 22nd - 04:09) Man thats sweet. were u nervous meetin those g´s or what. were they cool??
M  :(Aug 22nd - 07:44) Glad to see you working with big celebrities now Joey.  I have to say though, I like your previous works better. I was surprised that you took these shots.  I wouldnt have known they were by you unless told.  Not saying they are "bad" or anything like that, just saying, I like your older work.  Were you rushed for time for this shoot?  I am an asshole by nature but my comment is real.  lol  
Marinshe:(Aug 24th - 15:36) Well done Joey! Maybe this sounds weird but I am realy proud at you because you are proof that young photographers can make great big job! :D
Binny Manikoth:(Aug 26th - 18:40) Hi joeyl..i think you will remember me when i say i am from india.even from the very first i am you dead fan..you are cool man..your work rocks!!i really miss you here in india....what a different lighting!

Goran Vrcel:(Oct 12th - 01:18) You are the new Annie Leibovitz of our generation....... I am so impressed by your work. Have you met her yet?
october:(Oct 15th - 03:23) we know u here in the China,and welcome to China.there are also some interesting pics here
tobias:(Oct 16th - 22:31) The really cool thing about this is the fact that they are photographed a million times over yet these images are amazingly striking. The light is mental. You should write a book on lighting. I´d buy a copy...
Richard Melanson:(Dec 01st - 08:06) That 2nd image makes me want to cry.  And I´m not a huge Fitty fan...

Philippines Workshop with Manuel Librodo | Aug 12th
(Photo by Manny. I haven’t been to Boracay yet!)
Join me and the famous Manuel Librodo for a 5 day photographic workshop. It is October 19-24th ,2008 on the sandy white beaches of Boracay, the Philippines and beyond in remote fishing villages less dependent on Western influence.
The Safari will have lessons in shooting style, lighting and Photoshop from both me and Manny, but the vibe of the workshop will be interactive and personal. We are keeping groups small and are looking for only 12-14 participants.
Boracay is very tourist oriented and a friendly environment to learn, while beyond in the remote fishing villages are more of a challenge. The Philippines is composed of over 7,100 islands with countless small fishing communities living along its coasts. Packed tightly together in shanties that dot the shoreline, fishermen and their families rely solely on the sea to feed their families. Walking into a remote fishing village is like slipping into a place forgotten by time, where a day in the office means catching the fish their families need to eat that night.
1/3 of the workshop’s profits will be going to charity.
For all the details and info on registration, go to the mini site-

All the details are on that mini-site. Check it out.
Patricia:(Aug 13th - 12:09) Hi Joey. Is there by any chance you´re going to Manila? It´s a great place to shoot too! I´m a big fan of your work and I wanna meet you, but I can´t go to Boracay because it´s about an hour from where I live, and I have to take a plane :|
Patricia:(Aug 13th - 14:25) By the way, are we allowed to not get the whole packagae but still attend the six-day safari shoot? Can we book our own flights and pay for our own accomodations without getting the package? If yes, how much would it cost? :D
Joey L:(Aug 14th - 02:48) Hey Patricia. Most of us will be flying from Manila since international flights come from the capital. The internal flights from Manila to the beaches are included in the workshop price, but shoot an e-mail to Bobby Wong, (the coordinator), about the package. His e-mail is  bobby.wong@yahoo.com  and he´s very very helpful!
Cameron Rad:(Aug 18th - 12:14) Hey Joey. Do you plan on coming to Los Angeles, CA anytime soon? I would like to meet you. Plus you can get a lot of great pictures of the homeless and unique people at Venice Beach and Melrose Ave. Just wondering. O and tutorial DVD rules! Thanks. And ya my real last name is Rad. Pretty Rad huh? haha

Kirk McGirt:(Sep 02nd - 14:07) If i had the money i would definitely register. Looking foward to seeing photos from workshop
David:(Sep 07th - 15:01) Sorry to hear the workshop got cancelled... I was going to come! Hope it can be reworked for 09... all the best. Cheers for Australia, Dave.
CecileJanicek:(Sep 12th - 20:01) Yup - know the feeling of hitting deer.  Lived in a wooded part in the bay area and had deer everywhere....I never killed it though...so you beat me!  (Now I;m being sick!) You know I wish I could join you in Boracay.  As it is I will be there early Oct and miss your safari altogether.  Uuuurghhh..Now I´m physically sick at that thought....wish I could be there
Sean McCormack:(Sep 18th - 14:46) There´s always a second deer. They usually run in pairs, so if you see one, slow down until the other one has passed. No use to you now of course, but at least you survived it..
Steven:(Sep 21st - 09:49) At least you cared you hit the animal. Most people would see it as not a big deal at all.
Lyka O.:(Jan 25th - 11:43) oh damnnn. i didnt know about this!! please please visit PI next time or maybe this summer 09!hehe. would love to meet you and Sir.Librodo! can´t wait for your workshops
