Drew has a passion for documenting the built environment and our relationship with it. He’s fascinated with what he sees as the loss of ‘place’, the erasure of unique communities and their replacement with homogenous franchised environments.
Drew observes that vital places are being transformed such that ‘every place’ becomes ‘no place’ in particular. His images capture beauty in unlikely locations, reframing loss and decay as an invitation for reflection and introspection.
Drew’s work has been featured by Lens Culture, Critical Mass, Urbanautica, White Lies Magazine, Ain’t Bad Magazine, Feature Shoot, Paris Photo Agenda, Capture Magazine, and Australian Photography Magazine. He has shown in exhibitions for Feature Shoot Berlin and NYC and Rewind Photo Gallery in Sydney.
He was a finalist in Lens Culture B + W Awards in 2022, HeadOn Landscape Prize 2022, Photo Lucida ‘Critical Mass’ in 2020 and Sienna Photo Awards in 2017. His work was shortlisted in Urbanautica Institute Awards 2022.
