Hi, I am Wade Thweatt and this is my Photography site.

My fascination with photography began in 2014 after my wife got me a Canon Powershot SX510 HS for our anniversary, little did she realize the monster she was creating.  Over the next few months, with help from Craig Hadfield (www.calisnaps.com) I started learning the fundamentals of Photography, exposure, lighting, composition and post processing.  With a firm grasp of the basics under my belt I started searching for more information and began to study the work of some great photographers, Jeff Cable (http://www.jeffcable.com) and Frank Doorhof (http://www.frankdoorhof.com).

Having quickly outgrown the capabilities of my little Canon I bought my first DSLR in early 2015, and began applying what I had learned from Craig, Frank and Jeff and started capturing some stunning images. I have shot landscapes, sports, bands, events and lots and lots of Portraits, both candid and in a studio setting.

In the last year I have had opportunities to Photograph in New Mexico, Miami, the Florida Keys, Nashville, Chicago and Central Illinois.  I have plans to return to Chicago and Florida this year to capture more great images.
