Penney Portrait Studio at Fox Hills Mall), I found my way over to Melrose and spent an amazing decade managing Wacko when that street was the coolest place to be.</p> <p> </p> <p>Some of the bands I shot during this time worked in shops just up the street (Patrick from Kommunity FK and Edward from Nervous Gender both worked at Poseur). I was able to shoot Black Flag at a surprise show at UCLA, which provided a rare opportunity to photograph them without having to dodge stage divers; although there was a weird kind of chivalry back then where people looked out for you and your camera–<em>usually</em>.”</p> <p> </p> <p>On the weekends, kids flocked from East L.A. and the Valley to Melrose Avenue to buy their Doc Martens and Manic Panic hair dye, and Aronow was everybody’s favorite Goth shopkeeper.</p> <p> </p> <p>In the evenings, Aronow was busy documenting the live music scene of that era and managed to capture still photos of the most iconic bands of the day over multiple gigs spanning over a decade. </p> <p> </p> <p>The collection of photographs that comprised her first exhibition (<a href="http://gallery30south.com/punk-rock-primer/" style="color:blue; text-decoration:underline">A Punk Rock Primer: L.A. 1982 – 1992</a>), included intuitive snapshots of Minor Threat, Henry Rollins &amp; Black Flag, T.S.O.L., The Damned, Christian Death, GBH, Kommunity FK, Social Distortion, Alice Bag, and some of the first ever shows by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.</p> <p> </p> <p>For Aronow’s sophomore exhibition, Gallery 30 South is showcasing another assortment of never-before-seen photos from L.A.’s Punk Rock Golden Age.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong><em>For more information, visit: </em></strong><a href="http://gallery30south.com/" style="color:blue;

His dedication to conquering anything thrown at him and living life with no regrets shines through in his photographs. Whether it’s walking a slackline over canyons, freediving through caves in the ocean or capturing the Milky Way Galaxy in remote locations, Burke is constantly pushing himself and the boundaries of his craft.</p> <p> </p> <p> His initial spark for photography happened about eight years ago when he met up with his parents in Yosemite National Park.  Burke had decided to buy a Nikon D300 to document as much as he could.  The camera forced him to slow down and appreciate the beauty and really search for ways to capture it.  When he got home, he enrolled in a few photo classes at a community college, participated in various workshops and listened to guest speakers to start learning the basics and gain as much knowledge as he could.</p> <p> </p> <p>From there, he worked for years as an intern and assisted professional photographers in multiple fields to get hands-on experience before slowly taking off on his own.  Burke’s first major photography job that he was passionate about was a staff position with GrindTV, which fell together by attending a journalism class and having a portfolio ready to show.</p> <p> </p> <p>Over the past four years, Burke has amassed almost 800,000 followers on Instagram and his photos have been published in <em>Backpacker Magazine</em> and on the cover of <em>National Geographic Magazine</em>.  Along his journey, the avid athlete can be found walking slacklines over canyons, freediving through caves in the ocean and pushing himself and the boundaries of his craft.</p> <p> </p> <p>He’s enjoyed living in the van his grandmother gave him, which he converted into the ultimate “adventure mobile” -- affectionately known as Betty the Grey Wolf.   He’s visited the backroads of Vermont during fall to photograph a covered bridge under the star-filled night sky. He’s captured the dangerous, yet stunningly beautiful ice caves in Washington and spent months in Utah exploring some of the longest and deepest slot canyons in the world, searching for the perfect light. Burke is following his dreams, wherever they take him -- chasing inspiring images and capturing them for us all to see.</p> <p> </p> <p>Burke’s breathtaking pictures feature the unending beauty of the natural world. A trademark of his images is the human touch: a man on a cliff admiring the beauty before him, a trio trekking through rock formations, a couple kissing under a waterfall. Burke says it helps people experience the emotion and grandeur of the location and imagine themselves being there.</p> <p> </p> <p>When he is not taking photographs, Burke enjoys surfing, skateboarding, reading, slacklining, Ping-Pong, freediving, backpacking, mountain biking, jogging, rock climbing and snowboarding.</p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/2travis.jpg" style="height:417px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><br /> <img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/3travis.jpg" style="height:417px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/5travis.jpg" style="height:625px; width:500px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/6travis.jpg" style="height:417px; width:625px" /></p> <p> </p> <p><br /> <img alt="" src="https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/sites/default/files/7travis.jpg" style="height:418px; width:625px" /></p> <p><strong>©Copyright Travis Burke</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Highbrow Magazine</strong></p> <p> </p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/travis-burke" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">travis burke</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/photography" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">photography</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/national-geographic" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">National Geographic</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/national-geographic-photograps" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">national geographic photograps</a></div><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/adventure-photos" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">adventure photos</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/photo-exhibits" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">photo exhibits</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">The Editors</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-pop field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Popular:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">not popular</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-photographer field-type-text field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Photographer:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Courtesy of Travis Burke</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-bot field-type-list-boolean field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Bottom Slider:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Out Slider</div></div></div> Sun, 03 Jun 2018 16:43:38 +0000 tara 8078 at https://www.highbrowmagazine.com https://www.highbrowmagazine.com/9092-travis-burke-and-art-adventure-photography#comments
