In 2010 Drew began speaking publicly at conferences, in webinars, and teaching his own workshops about his own approach to photography, as well as his time working with Joe.

Building a Career in Photography-

If you’re trying to break into the business of photography, this session with Drew promises to provide you with some priceless advice and entertaining stories of Joe McNally’s photography pursuits.

The Ins and Outs of Music Photography-
This class will cover an array of information about photographing musicians, both on and off-stage. Topics covered will include requesting credentials and gaining access, making the most of very limited shooting time, choosing the right camera settings, real life examples of shooting live shows ranging from the small clubs to stadiums, as well as musician portraits. Time permitting, the session will end with a portrait demonstration, shot live on-stage with a local musician.
