Lyndon Wade is a magnificent photographer whose whimsical, idiosyncratic and sometimes controversial themes are hard to decipher.

Based in Kansas City, Wade’s subjects are very diverse and they appear to be frozen in time in the middle of their activity.

The artist’s vibrant and fun work are heavily retouched and contain excellent photo-illustrations that make for stunning and breath taking effects.

Wade’s extensive portfolio includes commercial work for [Coca Cola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coke-buddy), [Target](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-vinyl-1), 50 Cent, Ludacris, Sprite, Dodge, Vibe, Stuff, [Maxim](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxim), Harper and other heavy duty clients.
