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.
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 .
Everytime Drew uploads I have to watch it on the tv with surround sound! I don’t do this with any other TH-camr! The best quality work out there! Keep it up Drew🙏🏼
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.
If Iceland's Department of Tourism needs a spectacular promotional video then this is it! And if TH-cam has awards in the outdoor or exploration categories then once again, this is it!
The water-dip…those moments that make you feel ALIVE! -- Ice shards on beach look like crystal fossils. Oh, and niiiiiice rock skimming! And still that bird remains sentinel…
Magnificent... Superb... Brilliant... a film that completely captivated me and left me speechless. Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it extremely well. Congratulations, you are the best! 💯🏅🏆
Starting my Friday with a cup of coffee and a 47-minute-long Drew Simms video let’s goooooo! That shot at 14:37 is amazing and the shot at 15:02 looks like a painting. Beautiful captures, Drew.
Hands down, I consider your video work the best looking on TH-cam. Everything, down to the color grading, is spot on. Grateful to you for the continued inspiration!
That intro gave me chills. It makes me so happy to see how much your channel has grown. Your footage is a kaleidoscope of paintings in motion. Thank you for sharing.
omg that was the most beautiful video i have seen yet! came to tears once you dove in that icy water, good for you to take the dip. So impired me to go to island , Great Job.
Everything about your videos just calm me. emotional if anything because it gives me hope that one day ill have the opportunity to travel to beautiful places like this one day and be able to see the wonders this planet has to offer. Iceland has been top of my list along with Switzerland :')
this is an amazing video, your shots and cinematography are truly spectacular 🤯 Iceland has been on my bucket list for a while now and this has just intensified my desire to visit this beautiful place
Worth the wait ... genuine happiness comes from within whenever you upload Drew...cause i know it'll be ethereal...Keep on the grind my guy..bless ✌🏻❤️
Goose bumps! You are such an amazing talented young man. OMG such great quality and also the composition. Your videos are exceptional. Thank you for this wonderful video.
absolutely incredible work! One of the finest videos anyone has ever made of Iceland - makes it look even prettier! You have pushed the bar extremely high
It's not uncommon to find someone that is talented at something. It could be sports, academics, music, etc. What is hard to find... is someone at the absolute top of their game and is the BEST at what they do. This is far beyond being talented. This is what having a PASSION for something looks like. Absolutely stunning video man and please keep up the good work!!!
got home to austria from a 10 days iceland trip 3 days ago - glad that i found your fantastic peace of art - the quality and the passion behind your work is stunning - no more words needed
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 TH-cam popped this into my feed and I will surely be watching more of your channel. I wish you well and thank you again!
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!
Drew, another stunning masterpiece! You truly have captured the rugged landscape of Iceland with it's varying terrain, especially for a relatively small Country. Love your post-production and I truly appreciate the time and dedication to your craft!
Wowwww. Spot on music selections, beautiful drone footage, and Planet Earth II vibes. I got teary eyed a few times because Earth is such a beautiful place 🥹 Thank you so much for capturing this and making such a beautiful video.
HOLY SHIT DREW!!! What an epic video!!! Thank you for showing us the beauty of nature!!! You deserve millions of subscribers! Your work is touching my soul!
Totally amazing footage! Cinematographer of the year award goes to you, my friend. Outstanding. I haven't seen anything like this yet on Iceland. Bravo
Not sure how often I said "wow" while watching this video, but it's probably a loooot! Everything looks absolutely stunning. Thanks for the beautiful scenes, Drew!
First of all you should have way more subscribers than what you currently have, second…this is the best channel I’ve seen for cinematography. You blend everything so seamlessly. Truly enjoyable to watch.
“The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera” - DL 47mins worth spent on a Monday evening. Cheers all the way Drew and keep up the stunning work!!!
some of these shots are beyond reproach. stunning, emotional, lasting. expressing gratitude in the comments section somehow feels less than sincere, but it's all I can do here. thank you for presenting us with such beauty.
I saw the entire video nonstop almost hypnotized. Amazing, beautiful, the sound, the scenes with the drone, the silence.. i have no idea how much effort and dedication it took you to make this video but it was worth it, thank you!!
Congratulations on the story you told us. The images, the composition, the light that you managed to capture have exalted this already wonderful country of its own. Your work is inspirational.
Dude you need to get David Attenborough to voice something for your videos. It's like watching a better animal planet, absolutely beautiful cinematography.
Drew you continue to have such an amazing eye for capturing & displaying the beauty of the natural world. So stunning,what a talent you have. Thank you for sharing it all.
Spectacular, bravo!!! You have made a video masterpiece out of your trip to Iceland. Also, love the use of Tony Anderson’s music on your videos, they match pretty great. Bravo Drew!!!
This video is perfection. I went in July 2022 and had the most amazing time in a campervan. Since returning all I can think about is Iceland, and when I'll get back there next. It really is such a magical place and you did a perfect job capturing it! thank you!
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!
This is my favorite video of all time on YT. Never seen so much quality before. Wow dude you're super talented. Hopefully this gets millions of view coz it deserves it. Respect.
Late evening, having a drink and watching. Thanks to the overwhelming visual virtues, it makes me think a lot. I want to go somewhere and get into nature.
Simply beautiful! I watched this twice. This is a great reminder of how beautiful this world is and shows how content creators can still create relaxing moments online. It is much appreciated.
Drew, you made it. You are such a big league videographer. I feel like making amazing content and getting these amazing shots of the world is where you saw yourself down the line from wherever you first started. Ur awesome man.
How a guy living out of of a van can upload quality looking like a planet earth series is beyond me. Incredible work man
Literally 😮
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.
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.
THIS IS AMAZING. Wtf by far the best footage of the ring road, outstanding!
DJI drone I bet!
Any frame in this video could/should be a wallpaper
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 .
@@andyxmunoz lol
Андрей, у вас невероятные, потрясающие видео! Отдых для глаз и ушей! Спасибо огромное за проделанную работу!
This footage is jaw dropping. Seriously deserves an award.
Everytime Drew uploads I have to watch it on the tv with surround sound! I don’t do this with any other TH-camr! The best quality work out there! Keep it up Drew🙏🏼
Me too :)
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.
This is an instant classic. Wild!
Im dying.. Im crying
what an amazing experience.. I mean you lived your best life man
If Iceland's Department of Tourism needs a spectacular promotional video then this is it! And if TH-cam has awards in the outdoor or exploration categories then once again, this is it!
Thanks for taking us on that journey.
Amazing gift you have to show the most intimate beauty and diversity of our planet. Thanks for this
This deserves at least a hundred million views.
The water-dip…those moments that make you feel ALIVE! -- Ice shards on beach look like crystal fossils. Oh, and niiiiiice rock skimming! And still that bird remains sentinel…
It’s so raw. So primitive. So untouched. Soooooo beautiful.
Every bit of a second feels like it's heaven. Thanks for filming this beautiful experience :) @drewsimms
Incredible work of art. As usual. Drew you are so talented. The time, the effort, the eye of detail. This is exceptional.
Quite possibly the best video I've seen, this was incredible art. Congrats on life!
Magnificent... Superb... Brilliant... a film that completely captivated me and left me speechless. Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it extremely well. Congratulations, you are the best! 💯🏅🏆
It is sooo beautiful,i'm literally crying watching a beauty of the nature 🥺❤️

🤯🥶No words to discribe those stunning visuals.
Your filmography evokes so much raw emotion in the landscapes they capture, its peerless. Thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork.
I commented “Nat Geo level stuff” on the last video. This is beyond that. Spectacular is a word that comes to mind. Awesome job Drew!
thank you for the 47 minute vacation. absolutely stunning. love the lack of narrative. the views do all the talking. enjoy the ride..
That intro gave me chills. It makes me so happy to see how much your channel has grown. Your footage is a kaleidoscope of paintings in motion. Thank you for sharing.
Speechless... Amazing work as always Drew, truly one of the best cinematographers on TH-cam!
Drew, I love ALL of your videos, but I’m not sure how you’re going to be able to top these Iceland ones! They are absolutely stunning!
Had to stop directly after the 2min intro. breathtaking, pure beauty, im speechless. thank you for your videos!
Just totaled my jeep on city streets. All is well got a new jeep today. Your videos remind me stay on the back roads.THANKS

Better than most works of art I’ve seen.

Oh & the aerial series of clips & images is the best I’ve ever seen.
Breathtaking !!!
Feels like I'm watching NatGeo instead of TH-cam! Cinematics goes hard as usual. Can't wait for my first road trip!

Hey Drew. Hand down the best Iceland video - film - documentary on TH-cam. Incredible work! Attention to detail personified!
Incredible landscapes you should be publishing some of your stills as Art. Amazing 👏

Truly talented and such a inspiration. Breathtaking art work. Please continue to post more.
With mother earth as your canvas and a camera for your brush, you create art for us to enjoy.
Late evening, having a drink and watching.
Thanks to the overwhelming visual virtues, it makes me think a lot.
I want to go somewhere and get into nature.
I swear you have a God given talent for finding the most beautiful nature scenes!!
Simply beautiful! I watched this twice. This is a great reminder of how beautiful this world is and shows how content creators can still create relaxing moments online. It is much appreciated.
Completely breathtaking. You really captured the beauty and mystery of nature. Love everything you do, you’re so talented Drew!!!
From all Iceland’s videos I have seen this the best one. An absolute marvel! Go on drew we support you
