About

The photographer

Boat slips on Lake Conroe at sunrise

Burke Ruder lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and three kids. He shoots on a Canon EOS R6 Mark II.

Most weekends the camera goes where the family goes — ballfields, lakes, festivals. The street work in The Quiet City is where he found a look he could call his own: matte, cool, patient.

Every photograph here is edited by him in Lightroom.

When he isn't behind a camera, Burke builds things with AI. That work lives at burkeruder.ai.
