Russ Hadley on Fstoppers

The Hadley Group, LLC

I'm a 60 year old Director/DP who produced hundreds of TV commercials over the course of a pretty fun 40 year career. We shot on film for most of that time, but like most production folks we transitioned to digital in the last 10 years. I started my career as a portrait photographer and photography has always been my true love. Whether with a film camera for a still camera. Now that I am near retirement, I'm just wanting to focus, pun intended, on documentary and still work. Enough advertising for one career, insert smiley face. I love nature, landscape portrait work and occasionally shooting amateur sports.

I currently live in Stilwell, KS which is just south of Kansas City, but hope to be living somewhere in the Rockies within a couple of years.
