Hello! My name is Mike Schaid and this is my work. I am a young professional who worked in the field of financial operations. I got into photography by chance after receiving praise for an image sent through SnapChat. I took that praise seriously and bought my first camera. From there, the obsession grew and, what started out as a hobby, quickly evolved into an alternate career possibility. Now I am taking a leap of faith and getting out of the world of numbers and money and capturing moments full time. I will be headed west this summer living the nomadic life out of a trailer and I couldn't be more excited.
