Drew Gardner has been a photographer now for thirty years, his first professional work was published on the front page of his local newspaper 'The Lincolnshire Free Press' when he was 15. He graduated from regional to national newspapers where he worked for 10 years before moving into his own style of photography which he launched with an exhibition of his renowned Guinness World Record Series.
His work is diverse with a strong narrative, encompassing group portraiture to beautiful and extraordinary people both on location and in the studio. He has a burning passion for his craft and for people getting the very best from any given situation.
Drew also lectures in advanced digital and lighting techniques in the USA, Europe and the Middle East. More recently he has been working with disadvantaged young people in the townships of Cape Town, South Africa teaching them photography and building a practical and sustainable learning programme with the NGO True North.
