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.”
