Jake Burchmore was born and raised in Telluride, Colorado. He’s been enjoying the wonderful outdoors his entire life. From climbing and hiking in the San Juan Mountains, to backpacking in nearby Utah and Arizona, there are many places he enjoys nature and the beauty of the world. His ability to observe large and small details combined with a passion for the environment has molded him into a talented landscape photographer. With his lens, he has explored throughout the United States and Europe. Photographing during his junior year abroad in Denmark, Jake had the opportunity to immerse himself in a culture and environment that was liberating to his creative impulses. Upon returning to Telluride, Jake worked with Ryan Bonneau in a mentorship at Telluride High School. Ryan was a skill teacher and Jake found inspiration in his lessons. During Jake's senior year, Ryan's guidance helped him establish the foundation for a body of work and a successful gallery exhibition with Telluride Arts at the Stronghouse Studios. Jake currently attends Lake Forest College and continues to strengthen his career in photography. Through the sale of his prints Jake pays for his education and opportunities to continue to photograph, making new experiences on the way.
