No Plan is the Plan
Today, Drew is a highly sought-after adventure lifestyle photographer, appearing in countless magazines and capturing brands like Canam, Harley Davidson, Dometic, Nomad Wheels, GoFast Campers, and BFGoodrich Tires in their best and truest light. Over his career, Drew has built a portfolio of immersive work that beckons the viewer into a world of sand, dust, sky, and waves. Along the path, he’s learned a few things.
“I’ve found in my years of shooting that there are recipes to set yourself up for success. Having an efficient production, strong work ethic, great location, solid crew, exceptional talent, and top-notch equipment are all musts. With the right support, I’m free to explore and create on the fly. I treat my shot list like a scavenger hunt, and almost every time the result is better than what we planned. It’s not unlike how I live my life. No plan is the plan.”
When you surround yourself with people, environments, and equipment that you can trust to deliver, you create the space required for great work to emerge. One of the biggest pieces of “top-notch equipment” in Drew’s kit is his 2019 Toyota Tundra. Topped with a custom camper supported by a custom tube cage, Drew’s Tundra is a workhorse beefed up just enough to be dangerous in any driving condition. The first upgrade he made was a new suspension and BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires.
Drew never imagined himself as the guy with a new truck. But after one too many breakdowns on the way to and from family trips, he pulled the trigger and hasn’t looked back since.
