2010 » Duke Photography

Welcome to my Blog!

For the past 15 years, I've dedicated my life to photography. In 1990 I attended Humber College in Toronto, Canada for two years after which I decided to relocate to LA where I wanted to further my education and experience in the field.

Soon after my move to LA, I began assisting for celebrity, portrait, and fashion photographers who basically helped me fine tune my technical abilities.

In 1997 I took on the job of being a second photographer for a Beverly Hills wedding studio, which was where I found my true passion for photography: capturing the essence of weddings in a photojournalistic style.

After a few years of working for others, I decided it was time to start up my own studio in the quaint town of Pasadena where I've been for the past 9 years. I now have my own team of experienced second shooters and production artists who are all essential to my business and just as dedicated to photography as I am.
