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.”

WE DELIVERED…

In June 2011 my friends at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center (EIRMC) called me about photographing an advertising campaign for their new Women and Infants Center. For the past year they advertised the remodel and construction of their new addition. The new NICU unit went from about 700 square feet to over 12,000 square feet....

RADIOLOGICAL TEST RANGE…

In late July 2011 I documented an ARMY exercise at the Radiological Test Range at the Idaho National Laboratory. From what I understand, it is the second time in the Army’s history that they trained with an actual radiological hazard. ARMY personnel and INL employees had to don PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) and wear dosimeters to...

Today, they claim to be the only “one-stop shop” business in the United States for food processing equipment. They design, build, install and instruct food industries on how to use their equipment. Almost every french fry, hash brown...

During the last photography shoot I was either a head of or following a film production produced by Davies Moore via North by Northwest Productions. We both used the same talent (models), but never at the same...
