Episode #251: Drew Smith / Photographer

Photographer, brand ambassador, and mountain athlete Drew Smith joins the podcast to talk about his wild journey of growing up on a ranch in Montana and working jobs that varied from welding, to construction, to commercial fishing, to guiding, to search and rescue, to finally ending up with a camera in his hand and documenting the amazing adventures he was a part of, and slowing but surely developing a portfolio that would land him Clients like Patagonia, Roark, The North Face and so many more. During our conversation Drew talks about how a 5 month road trip to Baja after dropping out of college would end up changing the course of his life, and how he worked his way through an insane list of jobs in order to fund the pursuit of the next adventure and his insatiable appetite for travel. We also discuss how he found his niche in the world of outdoor adventure photography, started working with brands like Patagonia and Roark, what the behind the scenes of documenting alpine climbing adventures looks like, finally settling down after years of living in trucks and vans, what he's learned about life from the mountain characters he gets to be surrounded by, and the advice he gives to others hoping to one day have the chance to live out their own creative dreams.
