Home Actor Chris Burkard HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers May 2024 Chris Burkard Instagram - Alaska being roughly 665,000 square miles makes it the largest state in the US and pretty difficult to see it all even in a lifetime… March of 2018 on a catalog shoot for prAna, I decided to take a small crew to hit some of the most scenic locations ranging from the Don Sheldon Mountain hut near Denali to the Turnagain Arm on the Kenai Peninsula. A truly diverse array of wilderness where adventure and lifestyle in tune with nature is inevitable and a perfect time to see the state in peak season… exploring glaciers, ice caves, and eventually coastal territory accessible only by bush plane or small boats & highly dependent on a clear weather window. For the majority the trip, clear skies were in our favor and the swell lined up for perfect surf despite the frigid waters… even a rideable bore tide that locals often surf during large swings @prana

Chris Burkard Instagram – When my two baby Alpacas, Falkor & Loa,  hit 1 year I wanted to do something special and take them to a place that would blow their minds. As always these gentle creatures were timid but intrigued at first when I took them to the beach, sniffing everything and unsure about the sand and the water.  But soon there love for cold water on a hot day took over and they just plopped down in the sand. It was nearly impossible to get them back up and into the car 😅. 

Really miss these two. One of the most challenging decisions of moving across the world was giving them up to someone who could properly take care of them.
Chris Burkard Instagram – I always drew a lot of inspiration from photographers like Peter Lik and Ansel Adam’s as a kid… their depiction of the American southwest and the Sierra Nevadas encouraging my own exploration and documentation. Both of them working with camera tech much more limited and challenging than what I carry today. 
Regardless of your gear – a common theme I find essential, is the willingness to put in the effort to capture a moment or place… whether that’s with your iPhone or a full frame DSLR with a range of lenses… 
For me, if I’m photographing a landscape, I’m packing the @sonyalpha A7R V, my favorite tool for this scenario with it’s 61MP sensor and excellent color depth & dynamic range… perfect for printing large fine art images, sizing up for billboards, or just documenting a place that instills a sense of awe in me.
