Kort Duce Photography bio picture

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!


I have been a professional photographer for 22 years.

For the past 10 years Idaho Falls, Idaho has been my home. 

Action motorsports photography is my specialty, but I am also strong at editorial, commercial and industrial photography. 

In my free time I love acrylic painting on large canvas.

Currently I am a photographer for Communication Designs, which contracts for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Laboratory and the Idaho Cleanup Project. I have radworker II training and hazwoper certification. This permits me to enter Radiation Buffer Areas, Radiation Areas and Contaminated Areas. 

On top of this I am the chief photographer for American Snowmobiler magazine and contract with Yamaha Snowmobiles to provide photography for new model sleds.

I spend part of my time raising my family. My schedule is fairly flexible, so if one plans I can meet almost any deadline.

“Be passionate about what you want to do in life. If you don’t have a passion it shows. My wife often teases me that I live, eat and breathe photography. I admit that I do, almost to a fault, but without that drive I would not be fortunate to be making a living doing what I love. Keep a good attitude, strive for excellence and always try to grow as a photographer and as a person.”

This happened on a Friday that...

On Saturday, October 24, 2009, I was asked to speak at a one-day workshop sponsored by Media Network Idaho. I asked myself, “What credentials do I have to talk to an audience about communicating in a changing world?” “Not much,” I thought to myself with doubt, but I am a successful freelance photographer, have started...

KORT DUCE FEATURED IN SHUTTERBUG!

In the October 2009 issue of Shutterbug magazine writer Joe Farace reviewed my Web Site for his column titled Web Profiles. Today they posted that review on www.shutterbug.com It is very flattering to have such a glowing review about oneself. A little nauseating to read myself, but it is free publicity. Check it out.
