Chris Burkard es un fotógrafo norteamericano que a sus 32 años ha retratado increíbles paisajes naturales que pocos podrían llegar a presenciar con sus propios ojos.

Su talento lo ha llevado a trabajar con marcas como National Geographic Adventure, American Airlines, Nikon, The New Yorker, Apple Inc, para la revista Surfline y muchas más. Además de tener su propio negocio e imprimir sus propios libros de fotografía.

Creció cerca del océano por lo que en muchas de sus fotos verás representadas actividades como el surf, body surfing, boogieboarding documentando el movimiento del agua. Por otro lado puedes notar que es especialmente bueno para fotografiar destinos fríos como Islandia, Noruega, Alaska, las Islas Feroe, Nueva Zelanda, Rusia, Suiza, también tomó hermosas fotos en India e Italia.

I owe a lot to the work of @paulnicklen . My library just got a welcomed addition… I just got my copy of ‘Born to Ice’ … it was an early Christmas present to myself. Paul’s work has always been an inspiration since I saw it grace the pages of Nat Geo so many years ago. They were otherworldly and in many ways inspired much of my early travels to the arctic. This book does more than just fill your life with beautiful images but much needed tales of conservation. Check it out at @paulnicklen and of course .. do yourself a favor and give him a a follow.

Sus fotografías son una forma de transportarte a estos espectaculares destinos donde abundan la naturaleza, las actividades extremas y hermosos contrastes de color que no podrás creer que existen en el mundo.

Chris utiliza la luz natural para estas fotografías, capta la grandeza del universo al natural, una composición más que perfecta del mundo en el que vivimos.

Until I traveled to Alaska, I don’t really think I ever had a full appreciation for real wildlife. The biodiversity in such a small area was incredible and every trail & road led us to a new vantage where we would take hours to just sit & watch. Less photos were taken and binoculars became our best friend. At times you would even get an up close encounter. Grateful for places like @denalinps who have set a benchmark for how we can protect & preserve wilderness while still making it accessible. #WorldWildlifeDay

Wedged between the Norwegian Sea & the North Atlantic, the Faroe Islands’ coastal landscape is dominated by cliff faces. Located halfway between Norway & Ireland, the Faroe Islands have the highest sea cliffs in Europe, and some of the highest sea cliffs in the world. The highest reach up to 2,893 feet, (882 meters.) Pair this geology with a trip during the winter months, and the northern lights and you get a whole new level of wonder. . I shot this 5 years ago on a surf trip to the islands. I used a Sony A7S with a 24mm lens & long exposure settings to capture the Northern lights. Waterfall was slightly lit with a flashlight and ISO was around 8000.

Each melting iceberg holds a little bit of mystery in its shape. For every crack, serration, arch, cave and pool we find on the surface, a bit of the story of how it came to be unfolds. Maybe it dragged itself across a rock, flipped over and over, collided with another larger berg… or simply melted during the midnight sun. I love studying these shapes. Theories?

Even when the sun is out of sight, it makes its presence known.

Even in the dead of winter, the water here still manages to navigate the frozen pieces of ice like a puzzle to continue flowing forward.

What cameras can do these days is literally astonishing. I started with film a decade ago & to think I could be shooting the northern lights from a rocking boat, handheld, without a tripod is something beyond what I could have imagined. This night was extremely dark & the ISO was hovering between 12,000- 20,000+ and shutter speed ~.5 seconds. There was a lot of unuseable frames.. But every so often the wind would stop & boat would stay still for a second. I love pushing technology beyond what we think is possible. . Shot with Sony A7SII aboard the @auroraarktika

Greater Love hath no man than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. . Much of what I get to enjoy is built upon the shoulders of others. A moment to reflect on those who gave everything in order to preserve our liberties is always needed on this #memorialday – thank you. . This photo, although seemingly unrelated, represents a freedom I love most, the ability to observe nature in its purest form.

Just a reminder. Take a deep breath.

Currently on a plane with nervous excitement to be heading back to where it all began for me. My deep love of cold water, rugged surf & massive granite fjords. This photograph shot over 6 years still feels just as relevant to the style & message of my work. An exploration of a humans place in the world around us. . I’ll be sailing through these islands teaching a photo workshop over the next 8 days looking for slivers of light & rumors of surf while avoiding rain. @seilnorge @unstadarcticsurf @danedamus

The world has a funny way of reminding you of home. Like seeing Half Dome imprinted Under an Arctic Sky in the far north of Iceland. Thousands of miles from home & I’m drawn back to the granite walls of California by a display of aurora that can only be described as ‘epic’. Wherever you find yourself this 4th of July, be safe & grateful for our freedom to explore wild places.
