Thaddeus Christopher Wadleigh is a US born Cinematographer, Filmmaker and Activist.

Early Experiences
His fascination with cameras and lenses started when he was 8 years old and his father gave him a used twin-lens reflex camera. He grew up in Santa Fe New Mexico in a house with no running water, no electricity, no phone, and no Television. His early photos documented this unique home stead experience. Santa Fe also served as a good subject for his lens with its natural beauty and various subcultures that the small high desert city attracts. The lack of electricity made for an interesting classroom to study how light works in natural ways. His father John Wadleigh was a novelist, writing under the name Oliver Lange. His mother Barbara Boomhower Wadleigh was an artist, and together they lived off the grid before that term existed.
