BEHIND THE LENS...

Hi, my name is Shade Omodele Thompson. Passionate about photography & creative direction, I focus on bringing pictures to life.

Lover of all things unique & courageous (like the toughest challenges aired on America’s Next Top Model), I spent 10 years working with a variety of people & companies in a range of industries including fashion, charity & the wedding industry before creating ‘Shade Did That’ in 2020.

The #ShadeDidThat Experience

For me, getting the ‘perfect picture’ is all about the connection. This is why I centre my work around the experience with the client on set. The #ShadeDidThat experience is all about helping you build your confidence, take ownership, freely express your vision & inspire.
