Ed Drew's first body of work involved photographing his military unit in Afghanistan in the photographic technique of wet plate tintype. For his most recent work he was commissioned by the Klamath tribes of Oregon in conjunction with Klamath Tribal Health services, which included Modoc tribal members whom were relocated from their homelands in Tule Lake California after the Modoc War.
