Drew Webb – Fine Art Photographer & Filmmaker
I’m Drew Webb, a fine art photographer and filmmaker based in Milton Keynes, creating evocative portraiture and narrative-driven imagery that explores the beauty, vulnerability, and strength of the human experience.
My practice centres around people, their stories, their movement, their essence. With a background in both still and moving image, I work at the intersection of art and storytelling, crafting images that go beyond surface appearance to reveal something deeper, more intimate, and emotionally true.
An Artist’s Eye, A Storyteller’s Heart
My journey began at Milton Keynes College, where I first developed the technical foundations of photography. I later earned a BA (Hons) from The University of Lincoln in 2014, immersing myself in the artistic side of the medium how light, form, and expression can be used not just to document, but to move people.
For me, light is more than a tool it’s a language. I use it to sculpt atmosphere, build emotional tone, and invite the viewer into a quiet, often introspective space. Whether I’m working with dancers in motion or crafting a fine art portrait, my aim is always to create work that resonates visually striking yet emotionally grounded.
A Unique Perspective Shaped by Challenge
Living with Essential Tremor, a neurological condition I was diagnosed with in childhood, has profoundly shaped both my creative process and personal outlook. Rather than holding me back, this challenge has compelled me to adapt, refine, and invent leading to a visual style defined by intention, precision, and a sensitivity to detail.
It took most of my life for me to accept my Tremor and a little longer for me to open up about it. This experience has also instilled in me a deep empathy for others navigating their own challenges, something that informs not only how I create, but why I create: to offer connection, to reflect resilience, and to celebrate the imperfect beauty of being human.
Expanding the Frame: From Photography to Film
In recent years, my practice has expanded to include filmmaking, particularly story-led documentaries that explore real lives through a fine art lens. My films, like my still work, aim to merge aesthetic quality with emotional impact, creating space for the viewer to pause, reflect, and feel.
Whether it’s a single image or a full-length documentary, my goal remains the same: to create honest, powerful visual stories that connect us to each other and to ourselves.
