Visit the Jazz district. Home to Kansas City's Jazz legacy, you can stroll down the streets and visit museums, shops, and bars that honor the Jazz history. Organize a photo session on these historical streets, or take candid shot of the buildings that make up the historical district. Photograph jazz bands in action. Use the ideas that you come up with from this district to recreate a Kansas City Jazz-themed photo shoot in a random location throughout the city.
Visit some of the unique bars and restaurants throughout the city for ideas on what locals traditionally do for entertainment as Kansas City is known for its happening night life. Visit the Dueling Piano Bar, and be truly entertained by the atmosphere and the eclectic guests. Also, stop by the Power and Light district which is host to an array of bars and restaurants that are fitting for bachelorette parties and business meetings. Photograph the eclectic nightlife scene and array of businesses that seem to never empty.
Walk from the Plaza to Westport. Just mere blocks apart, the two districts are like night and day. The Plaza is made up of shops and restaurants that cater to the high end. Watch the scenery change as you walk towards Westport. There you will experience a more laid back, tight knit atmosphere. Photograph the difference in people and sights that you see along the way.
Visit Union Station which is host to the Kansas City historical museum. Use this time to look up historical landmarks that spark your attention. Visit these places and try to recreate times from days past. You may also get ideas from walking around Union Station itself as there is plenty to experience outside of the Kansas City historical museum such as Science City and a movie theater.
Head to Kansas City's Worlds of Fun theme park. Worlds of Fun features one-of-a-kind roller coasters and water rides. You may gather photography ideas within the park such as nighttime ride shots, which are ideal as the sun begins to set.
