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.”

I finished my latest painting titled “Free Range Chicken.” It is acrylic on 60″x48″ gallery wrapped canvas. The 1960 Dodge pickup in the painting is owned by my wife’s cousin Brian Rolston from Forsyth, Montana. Most of my paintings use my aunt Barb Rolston’s Triangle Ranch and Castle Butte as their backdrop. My father-in-law Alan...

I think I am finished with my latest painting titled “Coq au Vin.” It is acrylic and mixed media on 48″x72″ gallery wrapped canvas.

Before I could start this painting though, I had to paint “Chicken Soup,” which measures 24″x30.”  ...

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...
