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.”

MY LATEST PAINTING TITLED “CHICKEN XING”…

  I am pretty much finished with my latest acrylic painting titled “Chicken Xing.” I need to sign it and finish the last little details. Details. Details. Details. Some time in the next few days I’ll start my new painting titled “Mother Hen.” Not sure the size yet: either 24×30, 30×40 or 36×48. The largest...

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....

TRIANGLE RANCH, FORSYTH, MONTANA…

After camping at Ennis, Montana, we headed for an educational tour of Lewis and Clark Caverns near Three Forks and then headed to Billings to drop off the younger kids. My nephew Kadrian accompanied me to Forsyth to visit Aunt Barb’s ranch. The Triangle Ranch is located just a couple miles north and west of...

ACRYLIC PAINTING…

I have always loved art. There is no question about that. As a young child I loved art classes. Even in high school I loved art. That’s probably why I became a photographer. It’s also in my blood. It seems like my whole family is artistically talented. Art comes naturally to my family; from my...

MY2012 YAMAHA SNOWMOBILES

On February 28, 2011, Yamaha introduced their new 2012 snowmobile line-up. For a few days I took action pictures of their mountain sleds and for one day I took lifestyle pictures. This week I’ve been busy at the 2012 Snow Shoot in West Yellowstone, Mont. All the manufacturers get together each year to introduce their...

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...

VIDEO KILLED THE STILL PHOTOGRAPHER…

Hell no, but I love that 1980s hit song by the Buggles. As a contract photographer for the Department of Energy and the Idaho National Laboratory I am going to start providing video services. I am diving in head first. Sink or swim. At least I’ll have an editor and producer  (Leslie Dal Lago and...
