"My most memorable would have to be capturing the lightning bolt over the Cincinnati skyline. I remember I was driving around Newport when I saw lightning flashes behind the city and luckily I had my camera and tripod with me. I went to a spot I had picked out over in Covington by the Roebling Bridge and set up my camera to take continuous shots. When I saw that lightning bolt and heard my shutter close shut, I knew I got the shot. I'll never forget that feeling."  / Image: Brendan Burkett // Published: 7.29.19
Pictured: Brendan Burkett with his makeshift portable studio light backpack. "Cincinnati, like most major cities, requires a permit to use a tripod or light stand on the ground. I decided to get around this rule by creating a device that allows me to carry my light on my back. I use it to capture very dramatic and unique portraits of people out on the street. You can follow the hashtag #gogogadgetoctobox to see some of the portraits I have taken." / Image: Brendan Burkett // Published: 7.29.19

"I always enjoyed taking pictures growing up, and it was my grandma Gabby who first recognized that I was good at it. I received a lot of encouragement from my family, and I won a few awards in middle school. My love for photography was invigorated after I moved to Cincinnati. The city, its streets, and people are just so photogenic." / Image: Brendan Burkett // Published: 7.29.19
"My camera of choice is my Leica M2 from the 1960s. It's one of the most well-built devices I have ever seen. The lens I could never live without is any decent 50mm prime. I cut my teeth on that focal length."  / Image: Brendan Burkett // Published: 7.29.19
Burkett's subjects, while often found along the river and within the city's center, include everything from street scenes to portraits. / Image: Brendan Burkett // Published: 7.29.19
