Brad Hinesley is a freelance photographer currently based in Lafayette, IN. Brad's full-time job is Industrial Distribution, but his passion has become photography. His interest in photography has been rekindled since going digital during the last few years. With the encouragement of family and friends, he has taken his photography more seriously recently.

Brad is self-taught in photography, and is continually learning, reading books, magazines and conversing with fellow photographers at every opportunity. He has entered and won a top 20 "Honorable Mention" (out of 10,000 entries) in the 2006 Canon National Parks Photo Contest. His images are currently being selected for publication by the American Parks Network. His work is displayed on his website and as exclusive prints at the H. Leon Nature Gallery in Lafayette, Indiana.
