Obituary

Kelly LaDuke

Florida Trend photojournalist, 1961-2010. See a photo gallery of her work below.

| 8/1/2010

Art director Gary Bernloehr gave Kelly LaDuke her first Florida Trend assignment in 1994. That photo-shoot resulted in a 16-year relationship between LaDuke and the magazine. Her series of photos for a cover story on the cost of sprawl in 1994 won a Green Eyeshade award even though the photos were not submitted for consideration. The magazine entered the written feature in the contest, but the judges liked the photos so much that they decided to recognize them.
