My name is Brandon Uhr,. I am an established Photographer based out of Chicago/Texas and have been a Staff Photographer for Hawaiian Tropic for years. I am the Chicago Photographer for all of the Midwestern HT Events (Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Tennessee, etc.) "12 States and 8 Countries" and was selected to travel in Mexico Spring Break Tours Shooting for the Maine HT Calendar. I have been published by many Magazines, Calendars, and Posters. However, HT is only a small part of my Photography portfolio. I place a large emphasis on my fashion commercial and print work. I am also working for J.C. Penneys and Nieman Marcus as well as Caribian Tan and Playboy. Im always looking for new talent for Modeling / Entertainment projects for people that like to travel. Even though I'm working around the clock on many different assignments, I still try to keep an eye out for fresh new faces and industry contacts. I work out of the Chicago and Dallas studios, but travel most of the time.

Thank you for visiting our page. My name is David Durden and I am one of the owners of Paradise Portfolios! I have been lucky enough to find a great business partner and photographer in Brandon Uhr. We started taking models to exotic locations together in Nov 2008 and have traveled together several times since! I have been shooting model portfolios for 6 years! I have shot for calendars and catalogs for clients all over Florida including work for the Blue Angels promotions! I look forward to our continued growth in the future and working with our ever changing list of sponsors!

I spent 14 years in the Broadcasting industry, both Radio and Television and have produced countless commercials, both local and national as well as several "Behind the Scenes" Video Programs for several Swimsuit companies. I have also shot High Action Sports footage for companies like Interstate Batteries and ESPN including footage for the Super Bowl in Pasadena, CA. I also have over 10 years experience in Marketing and Web & Graphic Design and 4 years in Magazine Publishing. I try to learn something every day and I look forward to expanding my portfolio from being associated with Brandon and David.
