Journey

  • Photographer
    Kent Burkhardsmeier, United States

We never know what lies ahead of us on our journey.

Kent grew up in North Dakota learning to appreciate the simpler parts of life, trusting others, respecting Mother Nature, and enjoying life before he ventured beyond his home state.
Kent has lived in USA, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, and the UK - learning, exploring, and appreciating our diverse world.
For Kent, traveling allows him to explore the world, experience and understand different cultures, interact and observe people, and witness the beauty all around.
Kent's Fine Art prints reflect his voice towards simplicity, inner peace, and serenity from the hustle and bustle of the world we live within.
Kent composes his photos in a manner to entice the viewer to join him as he steps into the quietude around us.
Kent's childhood roots empower him to see beauty in the forgotten, unnoticed, or overlooked around us; that which is in our midst as we pass through life.  Kent recognizes that people are the same no matter where you are - it is these people, their moments, and their places Kent enjoys photographing.
Kent seeks to inspire and provide a sense of enjoyment through his images.  The breadth of Kent's photography encompasses fine art landscape, travel expose, and street photography.  As a self-taught artist, he continuously seeks new ways to improve his images, expand his abilities, and trigger creativity.
