Christopher Burkett (born 1951) is an American landscape photographer known for large format photography of woodlands.
According to Jim Alinder, "[t]he best of Christopher Burkett's photographs have an almost mystical sense of connection to us, one that cannot fully be conveyed through words or reproductions.
[2] Burkett is also a former brother in an Orthodox Christian religious order who, Vincent Rossi writes, has "transformed photographic technique into a spiritual endeavor.
[8] The North American Bookdealers Exchange awarded Burkett's book Intimations of Paradise Best Book of the Year for Art and Photography in 1999[9] and in 2004 he was one of twelve photographers honored with the Hasselblad Masters award for his photography by camera manufacturer Hasselblad.
He joined a Christian religious brotherhood in the early 1970s[11] and, in 1975, first became interested in photography as a form of spiritual expression.
