Three times National Photographic Portrait Prize finalist

"WA is fortunate to have a photographer the likes of Nic Duncan. A salt-of-the-earth photographer so adept at recording real people in their own environment and telling their story.”

Fremantle International Portrait Prize

“There is something so deeply affirming and validating to have these parts of me captured in your photographs. I can see myself more clearly. I have tangible reminders of who I am. Thank you Nic, for your skill in capturing my essence and for the safe space you created for me to express it.”
Kate Gillett, artist

“Denmark photographer Nic Duncan is a special breed. She doesn’t follow trends, she sets her own agenda. I’m privileged to call Nic a friend and colleague. Nic’s contributing more than almost all other Aussie photographers in preserving Australia’s visual history. More than anything else Nic’s photography is authentic. In this day, I can think of no higher praise.”
Dale Neill, photographer & tutor

Kulin Men's Shed

…Whilst the membership of the Kulin Men’s Shed might be small in number, the combined knowledge and passion for the town’s history that these blokes hold more than makes up for that…

Hazel helping the homeless

For many years, Hazel supported victims of domestic violence as they escaped their situation and rebuilt their lives. Nowadays, she’s focussing more on the homeless. Once thought of as a problem in the big cities, homelessness happens everywhere. In August last year, Homeless Project Denmark found there was 181 homeless people between Cosy Corner and Walpole - you can guarantee the actual figure is higher. There's a small group of legends who work hard with Hazel to make a difference but they can't do it on their own. We can all help...

Portraits of Friends - Andre

Artist and visionary, Andre is the man who started the Denmark Arts markets, and indeed Denmark Arts itself. He flies under the radar most of the time these days, and I'm sure there's a lot of people here now who have no idea how much Andre shaped our little town. He's one of Denmark's original 'bloody hippies' and a bloody treasure.

I’ve photographed Andre many times over the years and have included some of my old favourites below the photos I took a few days ago.

Portraits at the inlet

When the planets align - sometimes you find yourself in a perfect location with beautiful winter’s afternoon light, a gorgeous family wearing colourful clothes…and pelicans.

"Nic Duncan is truly amazing...she has a natural gift and has a way of making everyone feel relaxed, to enable her to capture the perfect memories!! Can't recommend Nic highly enough!"
Silas Masih, Pepper & Salt restaurant

Terry & Dianne - Leonora

Before marrying Dianne, Terry was living at the northern end of Leonora’s main street, in the house he’d grown up in. An avid collector, Terry has spent many, many hours treasure-hunting at the Leonora tip…

Russell & Jean - Leonora

Self-described environmentalists, Jean and Russell salvage and repurpose what would otherwise end up at the tip. Between them they own five gophers (disability scooters) which they ride around town doing their shopping and running errands, because they’re more economical than a car.

Vaso - Boulder WA

I spotted this snappy-dressed gent, tapping away on his iPhone, as I drove down the main street of Boulder in the Goldfields recently…

If we could give six stars - we would! Nic went above and beyond to make sure we got the photos we wanted, and was both professional and fun in all aspects. We would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled photographer.
