Hello, my name is Russ and I want to take your picture.

No, seriously... I really do. I see photography as one of the few completely interactive expressions of art in the world. People aren't cardboard cutouts, no matter what corporate photograph mills may want to tell you. I do not feel that a truly personalized portrait session can have the same set of backgrounds used for each customer. Every shoot is as individual as the subject, each picture is a moment in time that can never be repeated. I want to help you capture your moments and share your life with your loved ones.

I currently live in Kansas City, Missouri but am willing to roam within the Midwest for clients who are looking for a new way of having portraits made. My interest in photography spans more than a decade of photography experience. I love arranging dynamic and unique personal shoots for individuals, which has facilitated my specialization in on-site portraiture and event photography.

If you want a special photographic experience, one that takes into account your needs and desires as an individual, then please feel free to contact me at info@russmattphoto.com to set up a consultation.
