Christopher Burkett- Virginia







Christopher Burkett is an American photographer, widely known for his images of nature and woodlands. His prints are clean, crisp and stark; and contain outstanding colors. Burkett works with color gradients, immense depth, and an ever-present rule of thirds. He utilizes contrast so that all of his images have intense lights and darks. His work is also very directional. It seems that he composes his photographs so that they flow; they move from one side of the image to the next.

Burkett’s images are all landscapes and growth that he finds in nature. He utilizes patterns, light and color to somewhat abstract what he is shooting. He also crops things very distinctly, to enforce the abstract, magical quality that inhabits all of his pictures. Each subject seems that it could fill an eternity- even if it in reality, is as small as your hand.
