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.”

Even the hearts were woody. After...

Every employee counts. Live United.

Today I photographed Jeff Mousseau, President and General Manager of Bechtel BWXT Idaho (AMWTP). I asked what the picture was for and the public relations person, Sunny Katseanes, told me it was for a local United Way promotional poster. The kicker, they needed the picture ASAP because it needed to go to the printer. The posters...

Flowering Artichoke

It is suppose to freeze tonight. Ran out to the garden to pick tomatoes and saw our artichokes were starting to flower. Went inside and got my Nikon D3S, a 105mm macro lens, a Nikon SB-900 speedlight, a SU-800 commander to control the flash and a tripod. Fun stuff!

INL Advertising Campaign

Finally a new update! Completed an advertising campaign with Davies Moore out of Boise in August for the Idaho National Laboratory. Check it out here. Ernie Monroe, a veteran in the advertising industry, was the art director. The photography for this shoot was produced in less than two days. Something I call the shotgun approach. Roughly...
