I am planning a trip to kansas city soon
And I was wondering if anyone can recommend
a PROFESSIONAL photographer?

We have lots of photographers back home
But I want something diffrent!

When I say professional I mean
They have a website I can see there work
(not just model mayhem)
They have there own studio to shoot photos
And more then just a basic digital camera!

Any links or info would be great!
Thank you!

Holy shit are you coming to KC, OMG I knew dreams come true! I am going to look for my sixth grade teacher and punch him in the face when he told me to stop dreaming!
YAY!!....DS that was way too funny...where are you appearing for standup besides Nikki Sweets Pants
Try Brad Passow - http://www.expozurestudio.com/ and http://www.bradpassow.com

Reasonable rates, professional.

It seems a little odd that he wouldn't list an address or contact on his web pages beyond a nebulous area description. I suppose that could market him by mystery, but it wouldn't tend to build a lot of confidence in completing a job if you can't really tell where he is, and his calendar is outdated. What is his story, Jackie? The work looks good enough.
He's been busy as hell coding a Website he was contracted for some time ago (huge project), the OP asked for Websites, so I posted what he has, I fully realize some of it is dated. His MM (Model Mayhem) pages are current (which is where most of his contacts / work comes from). Oh, and if you think dealing with Escorts is rough, try dealing with the fitness crowd (where he has a niche and shoots for several "muscle and fitness" magazines). Those gals make us look sane, so he deals with email and MM PM first - as most others do also. For what he does, the contact form he has works best for him, or so he has said - he sees most of the girls he shoots at the shows (the Arnold, etc.). He did some of my older stuff and a few yet to be posted that we shot in the west bottoms this past weekend, and he did Nikki Grind's last shoot.

Here's an example of an HDR image we shot this weekend (not the greatest of shots, but something I asked him to do, for fun - I like the textures it brings out, such as the paint on the support column):

A friend of mine (former moderator on here named FireSerpent) does photography. He doesn't work in a studio and prefers "location shoots". You can see some of his work here

His email address is at the link there... if you like his work and want to get a hold of him, just write him there and then he'll shoot you his phone number.
