Both Signature Journeys and Creative Expeditions offer extraordinary opportunities for wildlife and cultural experiences and exceptional photography. However, our Creative Expeditions are designed exclusively for photographers, with every detail of the schedule and locations tailored to image-making.
Our workshops are limited to eight guests, ensuring that everyone receives personalized attention in the field and during post-shoot live critique sessions.
Each expedition takes place in a handpicked location, whether wild, remote, or culturally rich, chosen for its unique photographic potential and scheduled during an optimal time of year.
Learn in the field from Drew, who has earned international acclaim for blending technical mastery with creative storytelling.
From composition and lighting to storytelling and post-processing, every session is grounded in practical experience, not theory.
During each workshop, Drew will deliver presentations ranging from settings, composition, storytelling, developing your own artistic voice, and his post-processing workflow.
Those who seek not only to witness extraordinary landscapes, wildlife, and cultures, but also to capture them through their own creative lens. Whether you are just beginning or refining a lifelong craft, all skill levels are welcome.
“What truly set this experience apart was its intentional blend of creativity, culture, and connection. Each day was thoughtfully designed - from golden-hour shoots with wild horses to quiet explorations of slot canyons and meaningful conversations around the dinner table. This wasn’t just a photography trip - it was a deep, soulful immersion into one of the planet’s most extraordinary places. If you’re considering this or any workshop led by Drew, I can’t recommend it highly enough. You’ll leave with not only stunning, portfolio-worthy images, but also a renewed creative spirit and a lasting appreciation for the land and its stories.”
“Drew added immeasurably to the trip. He was generous with advice and instruction on photography—always gracious, thoughtful, and clear. In the field, he ensured we were perfectly positioned for the best light, composition, and subject angles.
Additionally, afternoon editing sessions and presentations covered technical aspects like camera settings and artistic aspects like composition, storytelling, and the “why” of making an image. I learned tons. He was also just as supportive of the person who came for the trip and brought their camera along as he was of the experienced photographers.”
“The entire trip was flawlessly executed. Every element was thoughtfully timed to let us focus on creativity and connection. Even as someone who typically travels solo, I found the group dynamic energizing and inspiring. As a photographer used to working with client briefs, this was my first time creating without pressure or expectations. At first I felt lost, but Drew’s generous guidance helped me reframe how I see and compose. He doesn’t just teach camera settings—he teaches how to see. I found myself slowing down, thinking more intentionally, and telling deeper stories through my photography.
I think that the way Drew experiences the natural world is evident in his work. Being on the ground with him and seeing how he does what he does is a next-level experience. I feel like I got so much out of this expedition and would recommend traveling with Drew to any photographer or naturalist who feels an affinity for his work and perspective.”
“I recently returned from Botswana, my fourth workshop with him. We are already planning the fifth and sixth. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just beginning, Drew meets you where you are and helps elevate your craft. As an internationally known fine arts photographer he has brought an element of creativity to my work that I couldn’t have gotten elsewhere. His preparation for the workshop including locations chosen along with guides and accommodations is impeccable. He doesn’t miss a detail.”
"Drew's generosity with his knowledge was extraordinary. Beyond photography, our conversations challenged me creatively and personally. I returned home a better photographer, but more importantly, with the confidence to create more boldly and a renewed sense of purpose."
"Drew's evening talks were as inspiring as our time in the field. His knowledge, generosity, and enthusiasm made every day more meaningful, regardless of your photographic experience."
His work is held in prestigious collections, including the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art and the Four Seasons. The Wall Street Journal, CNN, Condé Nast Traveler, and many more have also featured his photography and books. Drew has received over 130 international awards for his photography and films, establishing him as one of today’s leading visual storytellers.
Alongside creating his own work, he has mentored thousands of photographers of every skill level through his internationally attended courses and Creative Expeditions.
