      I think he has previously mentioned that he is a professional photographer and worked for movies or something along those lines. He surely is qualified. Doesn't look like a newbie to me.

      @BobSanders33 Год назад +12

      He used to live out of his Jeep, but I think he has a house now. Living out of a vehicle is not a hindrance to getting stunning nature photos and videos, it facilitates it. The best way to get those golden hour shots in amazing places is to camp nearby.
      I go on multiple ~2 week trips a year living out of my 4x4 and taking nature photos. Nothing close to the quality that Drew produces, but I enjoy it.

    I dont consider this as a video , an image nor a motion picture but an amazing work of art created by someone who has genuine passion for this genre of film making. The videos you upload are pure eyegasm and it invokes something in everybody that urges them to be creative. Kudos Drew SImms , you have achieved something amazing .

    Wow. Thank you Drew! I know how much time and effort it takes to plan, wait, consistently get up before dawn, manage equipment, batteries, the elements, and bring all the footage home for hours and hours of culling and selects, music choices and edits. Have you ever thought about putting together a teaching retreat? I would sell a kidney to learn from you in the elements.

    Drew this is absolutely incredible. Having been to Iceland earlier this year - with my amateur gear including a DJI drone - I dreamed of photographs and footage like this. I'm sorry to say that my work could not come close. What I see in my own photographs and video is the experience and the nostalgia of a great trip. What I see in your work is inspiration to go again, and again. The patterns and textures you capture are the highlight for me. Great work ! Please keep up this amazing craft you share!

    Oh my goodness! I can't thank you enough for bringing this incredible beauty into my home! The beauty of the place is in itself stunning, and then seeing how you chose to film and put it together, what you lingered on, what you showed close up and far away - in essence your relationship with what you saw/smelled/heard/felt made, for me, an experience that I can't even put words to. I'm so glad RUclips popped this into my feed and I will surely be watching more of your channel. I wish you well and thank you again!

    Drew, I’m amazed at your talent. How is it that you aren’t working in the film industry ( or are you?). You put out such excellent quality footage, I’m so impressed. I’m proud of you that you did something that was life defining-not sure how, but getting in that freezing water was brave. Amazing footage, amazing film, I hope someone will see your work and make you an offer you can’t refuse. Thanks for sharing!

    Dude, I feel like I say this on every video, but I’m absolutely blown away by the quality you produce every time, and I think this is easily the best shot composition and quality you’ve put out to date. I’m sure the landscape helps, but damn did you frame everything beautifully.
    Also, I love to see you showcasing more of your photography as well. It’s equally impressive, and shows off how talented you are even more, but in a really natural feeling way.
    This really truly is art, dude, and I hope you’re able to think of yourself as an artist, because you certainly deserve to. Congrats on yet another awesome video!

    Around 1/4 of the way in, I'd decided to make a mental note of a few timestamps of my favorite shots to share with you. Shortly after, I realized that'd be like a hundred timestamps lol So I'll just say, I loved your wildlife footage! You even seemed to capture the personality of each little puffin lol Also, the basalt columns shots were amazing!!! Lastly, I imagine that it can be tricky wondering where and when to include sponsorship segments. But you do it well. Thanks for sharing and safe travels ❤️
