Photographer- Lyndon Wade

Lyndon Wade was born and raised in Kansas and experience his first break as a photographer at the age of 18. When he was 21 he set up a photography studio in Kansas with his brother. Lyndon Wade is well known for his over the top style of his photographs and ability to tell a story in either a single, or a set of photographs. Despite the visual flare of his photographs he tries not to spend lots of his time in editing software such Photoshop. Instead he attempts to make his photos up using props and lighting to minimize time spent in the editing process. Another technique he uses is taking lots of different photos and overlaying or merging them together to create a stronger visual impact. He has been hired by Pepsi, Sony, Virgin and many other companies to shoot marketing material for them or create advertising posters using his unique style of photography. The final thing that makes Wade stand out is that every item and object in his photography is there for a reason, nothing feels out of place in the composition of the photograph.
I really like Wade's style of photography. I think that his use of editing, although often over the top in my opinion, works extremely well and his artistic design shows in both images above. I particular like the lighting in the Superhumans photograph as it draws attention to the athletes.
