Breathtaking photographs and deeply personal stories from a leading
surfing and nature photographer, conservation advocate, and social media
force
Wayward is a collection of striking photographs and the revealing
personal stories behind them by one of the leading surf, nature, and
adventure photographers of our time. At remote beaches and locales in
places like Russia, Norway, Iceland, and the Aleutian Islands, Chris
Burkard suffered from hypothermia, destroyed thousands of dollars' worth
of camera gear, and spent a few nights in jail. But in the process, he
captured amazing and iconic images that have defined his life's work.
And while millions have seen his photographs in magazines, marketing
campaigns for Patagonia, Sony, and others, and via his social media,
Burkard has never given a full account of these journeys--until now.
With never-before-seen images and the stories behind them, Burkard
crafts an original narrative that combines the page-turning drama of a
great explorer's adventure story and the immediacy and power of
unforgettable photographs. Chronicling both the failures and the
successes he has experienced in building a career, Burkard shares an
infectious passion for photography, surfing, and chasing dreams in some
of the world's most awe-inspiring places.
