ETHIOPIA Book - Collector's Edition Unboxing by photographer Joey Lawrence
I had the rare honor to unbox the first Collector's Edition of my book, ETHIOPIA, which a monolithic collection of images captured over the course of thirteen years. This is a special set which includes a signed /100 print, bronze book stand, all woven together in a beautiful clamshell case.
Collector's Edition from publisher Insight Editions: insighteditions.com/products/ethiopia-1
Standard Edition on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/1647227356/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1576878686&linkCode=as2&tag=joeylshop09-20&linkId=f3b095b0d24bd7f6514a6882613b5c40
The edition of 100 print in my box was from Ethiopian Christmas ("Gena"), but it could have been a portrait of the Moryis, a crocodile hunter from Lake Turkana, or another portrait from the Somali Region of Ethiopia.
You can view the 45 min doc called HUNTERS that followed my team during the creation of this book here:

I can't express what it feels like to open this and have this book in my hands. It is the culmination of over a decade of teamwork all bound together. I send my love to the core team from 2008-2023: Nibret Adem of Hamerland Tours, Kiya Tadele, Nebiyu Bekele, Habtemariam Desalegn, Haimanot Defere, Anteneh Endale, and Ryan McCarney. I would like to thank the fantastic publishing team at Insight Editions: Raoul Goff, Katie Killebrew, James Faccinto, Amanda Nelson, Chrissy Kwasnik, Lola Villanueva, Joshua Smith and Alix Nicholaeff. I would also like to thank Barbara Cox and Anne Sheridan from Photokunst.

    Would make a lot of sense that in some traditional cultures that are often faced with the threat of famine and starvation that the ideal of beauty in both men and women would be to be firm and overweight proving they are well fed.

    5:45 They look so different, have such different clothing, or rather lack of it, and yet the way they interact, speak and talk to each is almost exactly the same as just any modern urban teens hanging out at a skateboard park.
