Joey Castillo came into photojournalism at his college newspaper, The Daily Texan. He enrolled in the graduate school of journalism at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is pursuing his MA in Photojournalism.
In the summer of 2009 he participated in the News21 initiative at the University of Maryland, where he developed a custom Flash interface for presenting video stories. Around that time he began iPhone app development in earnest.
Joey was the sole ActionScript developer behind photojournalist Donna DeCesare's powerful website, Destiny's Children: A Legacy of Gangs and War. He also printed fine giclée prints for DeCesare's show at the 2010 Fotofest biennial in Guangzhou.
Joey is based out of Brooklyn, NY, where he is engaged in web and iPhone app development, as well as independent projects in photojournalism.
