I'm a Kansas City photographer who sees familiar things in new ways. Please visit DuaneHallockPhoto Thank you.

Photography is a hobby that allows me to share the beauty I discover in the world we share. I look at familiar things in new ways and often find the beauty hidden in plain sight. In 2020 I was honored to be named Best Photographer by the editors and readers of Kansas City Magazine. Though truly honored, I cringed at being labeled the “best.” Kansas City has a strong community of talented photograp

hers who continually inspire me. I learned long ago that comparing myself to others is always destructive. On several occasions, I’ve had the opportunity to present at conferences, workshops, or luncheons where I’ve said, "The only photographer you should compare yourself with is the one you used to be. Admire the artwork of others and be inspired by their creativity, but don’t compare yourself. You are unique and you see the world from a perspective that no one else sees in quite the same way."

My Photography. My Story.

Photography allows me to share the beauty I discover in the colorful world we share. I try to look at familiar things in new ways, and I'm always amazed at the incredible beauty I find, often "hidden" in plain sight.

My photos focus on picturesque landscapes, intriguing architecture, historic sights, unusual weather patterns, and other things I find interesting. I purposefully look to find the extraordinary embedded within the ordinary. To me, photography is a practice of mindfulness. Taking pictures helps me to be more aware of the vibrant colors, the subtle lighting patterns, and the provocative contrasts I encounter.

Though I'm often asked, I am not a photographer for hire. In other words, I don't take professional pictures of weddings, reunions, graduations, or other events. I don't shoot senior portraits, modeling sessions, or family pictures. Honestly, so many other photographers can do that much better than I. Neither am I a photojournalist who documents reality through visual media.

I prefer to think of myself as a photo artist. Through my artwork, I want to inspire others. I want to shine a light into darkness. I want to encourage others to appreciate the colorful, magical world in which we live.
