An Experience-First Approach
TO BE THERE focuses on what it feels like to experience travel.
By immersing ourselves into the environment, we capture the natural moments that define a guest’s experience. The atmosphere of a slow morning, the energy of a nearby adventure, and the connections that happen along the way.
By observing the rhythm of a stay, we create imagery that feels authentic. Because it is.
The result is marketing content that helps future guests picture themselves on a trip before they ever arrive.
Meet Drew
The photographer behind TO BE THERE.
I am addicted to capturing moments.
When I travel, my camera is how I experience the world. I’m constantly looking for the small details, genuine interactions, and fleeting moments that capture what it feels like to be somewhere.
That perspective is what I bring to every collaboration.
I don’t approach a property as an outsider looking for real-estate-style staged shots. I immerse myself in the environment, connect with it, and capture the experience as it naturally unfolds.
For hostels, surf camps, retreats, and social stays, I bring an outgoing and approachable energy that allows me to naturally fit into the community - creating authentic moments that would be impossible to stage.
My goal is simple: to create imagery that helps future guests feel the experience before they ever arrive.
Your story is in good hands.
TO BE THERE brings a thoughtful, experience-first approach to capturing the spaces, moments, and details that make your brand memorable.
