Home Actor Chris Burkard HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers May 2024 Chris Burkard Instagram - California’s Carrizo Plains & Cuyama Valley provide little access even with a good 4x4 vehicle for those hoping to photograph the surrounding ridges… while planning this particular assignment, we felt that flying in an Lightweight Aerial Trike and a Cessna seemed the best way to capture the dramatic effects of the super bloom in a way that gave genuine context to the landscape… something I value when putting together a body of work. Throughout my career, @natgeo has always been an incredible example of showcasing the earth and the important stories that it has to share… so this assignment to document California’s super bloom following significant winter rainfall in 2023 felt a little extra special being so close to my home.

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.
