Chris Burkard is a world-renowned surf photographer who has been capturing the power and beauty of the natural world for over a decade.

The photos in this book are absolutely breathtaking, and I guarantee that you'll be inspired by Burkard's story - even if you're not into surfing.

"There were probably about thirty people in the entire world making a living as a surf photographer. I, on the other hand, didn’t even yet own a passport, let alone a good enough camera to produce an image worthy of a double-page spread - but I was determined to make it happen."

 

The book includes never-before-seen images by Burkard and gains insight into the stories behind their capture. The infectious passion that Burkard has for photography and adventure is unparalleled; this certainly comes across in Wayward through his images of awe-inspiring locations and action shots.

"The dream was to be a surf photographer. But that was—and still is—a wildly misunderstood career path. It was not about hanging out on tropical beaches and getting a tan. It was about chasing long-period swells around the globe with athletes of the highest calibre while pushing my mind and body to wield a camera in big surf while going toe-to-toe with some of the world’s most challenging waves."

 

I absolutely enjoyed Chris Burkard's new book, Wayward. The photos are absolutely breathtaking, and I was absolutely inspired by Burkard's story. This isn't your average surf photography book- it's so much more than that. Whether you are a fan of surf photography or not, you need to check out this book!
