American photographer Christopher Burkett (born 1951) has worked for more than 30 years to create what is regarded by many as the most brilliant and immaculate color prints in the history of photography. He has been devoted to hand-printing each of his Hasselblad transparencies and 8 x 10 on the Swiss Cibachrome photographic paper (now discontinued). Through this he has managed to produce some of the largest and highest resolution color, as well as the most archival photographs ever created by a photographer’s own hand, without using modern computer technology; using film exclusively. Burkett became interested in photography at the age of 24. By then, he was a brother in a Christian order. At the beginning, he was just using his photographs as a means of expressing the beauty, light and grace he saw present in the world of nature. As he continued to do this, his love of photography grew stronger and stronger. So in 1979, he left the Christian order to pursue photography full time and married his wife, Ruth. Today, he travels extensively throughout the US to photograph. He learnt the offset printing process and ran laser scanners and 4-color printing presses to create detailed color separations. His final prints are presented to the customers in a variety of options, including framed Christopher Burkettart art which are the most popular with many collectors. The several years of experience in the printing trade has given him a deep understanding of the principles of tone and color reproduction, and has helped him to develop his fine understanding of color.
