Chris Burkard, winner of the 2010 Red Bull Illume photo competition, has traveled through some of the harshest natural environments to photograph daring surfers in their quest to prove that surfing is not always the sandy-beach, hot-climate sport it’s made out to be. His passion has led him to explore places around the globe, from Chile to Iceland, and has consistently managed to inspire the photography world with his unique photojournalistic style.
