Chris Burkard is one of the most accomplished and sought after photographers today. He has become one of those artists where all you need to do is look at one of his photos and you’ll know….” That’s a Burkard”. He was in Whistler to compete in the Olympus Pro Photo Showdown at the World Ski and Snowboard Festival. It’s an event where slideshows from 5 different photographers, showing their best work, compete for a big cash prize. It’s the potential great live recognition for a lifetime of work.
Chris tells us how he got his start in photography and through several great stories about hard work, mistakes and sacrifice, we learn about how those lessons taught him to succeed in business, art and life.
