Surf Photography: Chris Burkard's Tips for Taking Great Outdoor Photos

http://www.silberstudios.tv We're at Silber Studios with our guest Chris Burkard, a freelance surf photographer known for his distinct and creative photos. Unlike many professional photographers, 23-year-old Chris has not had formal training; instead, he developed his photography techniques through lots of practice with composition and natural lighting. His tips on composition and style will help any amateur photographer take better photos.

I'm envious of the slew of big-name clients he's managed to gather. Chris Burkard has been the Senior Staff Photographer for Water Magazine and Surfline.com and has already published his first book, The California Surf Project. Chris won the first annual Follow The Light Foundation grant and has worked with more than 35 national and international surf publications, including Surfer, Surfing Magazine and many others.

@greenbelter123 that's where a good housing and a big dose of courage comes in handy
