Thaddius Bedford
Commercial Photographer/Cinematographer, Liquid Image, Inc.
I first began diving at the age of 6 years, under the watchful eye of my father. I have been diving ever since, becoming an open water instructor at age nineteen and eventually achieving Trimix instructor. You might call the water my second home.
Upon graduating high school, I chose to attend Central Michigan University for Graphic Design. However, that soon changed after I took my first photography course. Now I had two loves: Diving and Photography. It was natural to put the two together, and I found myself, and my camera, in the water any chance I had. By 1994 I started my business, Liquid Image, Inc and began my freelancing career.
I have spent the past sixteen years working as a professional photographer – both above and under the water. Most recently my time has been spent filming HD television shows for The Outdoor Channel and freelancing articles for a multitude of magazines.
As I look to the future, I see my time being spent with my loving family and traveling to several countries and continents for various work projects. Needless to say, it will be busy, but I know it will bring many more experiences I can capture - under the water and above.
