Joey Seawell graduated from Randolph
Community College in 2004, majoring in the Commercial Photography concentration.
Joey first found his interest in photography when he started taking pictures of
his friends doing crazy tricks on their BMX bikes. When Joey attended the
photography program, he interned at Widner Creative (now called the White
Orange Productions) and at Exum Photo. Since Joey graduated, he has started a
family, traveled many places, learned a lot about business and has photographed
many, many people. He most recently traveled to Kauai, “It is the most amazing
place I have ever seen. Truly magical.” Joey mainly focuses on lifestyle
advertising projects and shoots with small dslr cameras and medium format
cameras to capture still projects. For motion projects, he uses dslr cameras
and also cinema cameras. His favorite projects so far have been his travel and
southern culture projects. “I love meeting new people and documenting the
culture around my home in the south.” Joey’s most challenging experience has
been saying no to a job, sometimes a certain job just doesn’t work with
everyone, even when it is really hard to walk away from it. Every day the list of
things he would like to accomplish grows and grows. “I feel that I am on
the right track. The dream was to graduate and make a living with my
camera; so far I’m living the dream.”
