Shawn Waide is a semi-professional photographer and artist. With a back ground in I.T., Shawn has used this to produce simple but stunning photography in both digital and film formats.

Born in 1980 in Omaha, NE, Shawn was raised in Council Bluffs before moving to Omaha in 2000. After his mothers death in 2000 and the birth of his son in 2004 he realized that there were not many photos of himself as a child or many family photos. This would ignite a love for photography.

Being self taught through trial and error, a simple style was born. Clear images with a focus on the subject was the goal every time. Using digital, 35mm, and 120mm formats in a wide range of cameras lend further nostalgic style to his work. Surrounding lakes and patches of forest that dot the surrounding Omaha area is where he feels the most comfortable. Camera, light, and nature.
