About Chris Burkard Studio

Working as a photographer in the outdoor industry, our business is naturally tied to sustainability. How can we take photos of the most beautiful places on the planet if we don't make an effort to protect and conserve them? Our work relies on the beauty of the planet and in turn we feel a responsibility to help keep the planet beautiful. Over the years, we have taken an assortment of pro-environmental measures. To begin, Chris has used his photographic skillset to work on a number of commercial projects and for commercial clients that aim to help protect our environment and promote wild places around the globe. Our hope is that by helping people see and learn about these places, they will be more inclined to stand up for them!

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.
