David Burnett ⋆ Notjustaphoto

I had the pleasure to take a workshop with the legandary photographer David Burnett during GPP 2013. David is not only a great photographer he is also the most down to earth and nicest person ever.

It was really a day full of inspiration as we listened to David telling us stories of how he shot some of his famous work.

David Burnett is a photojournalist with more than 4 decades of work covering the news, the people, and visual tempo of our age. He is co-founder of Contact Press Images,the New York based photojournalism agency, now entering its 37th year. In a recent issue of American Photo magazine Burnett was named one of the “100 Most Important People in Photography” which made his mother proud as he said!
