About The Presenters-
📸Drew Gurian is a photographer and visual storyteller known for bold, authentic portraits of legends like Quincy Jones, Alicia Keys, and Yo-Yo Ma.
Drew’s path as a photographer started as a kid in the 1990s, shooting bands on black and white film in lots of NYC clubs that no longer exist.
During college, he interned for two legendary NYC photographers, Joe McNally and Danny Clinch. After finishing school, Joe offered him a job as his first assistant. Five years and half a million air miles later, he moved to Brooklyn, New York, to pursue his passion head-on. Since that time, Drew has had the privilege of photographing some of the world’s most iconic figures- from Yo-Yo Ma and Alicia Keys to Sir Richard Branson and Quincy Jones.

Chris Knight was born in Wiesbaden, Germany and hardened by the sweaty, nearly chewable, humidity of Florida. He combines his unconditional love of art history with his conditional love of technology, topping it off with a flair for the cinematic and an uncompromising eye for detail.
His work has appeared in or on Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, L Officiel, GQ, People, MSNBC, ABC, Oxygen, Ocean Drive, and others.
Chris is the author of The Dramatic Portrait, a Profoto Legend of Light, Fujifilm Creator, and an instructor at Pratt Institute as well as the New York Film Academy.
