About Me

I don't think anyone reads this part... text always looses the battle against pictures. But just in case...

I'm Burke, a Photographer based out of Brooklyn. I also direct film and host burlesque shows in the city.

Check out www.thingstolookat.com to see more of my photography and motion work.

burke.

Some things people have said about my work:

"This is so exciting... Its a little risque... It's not... Um... Ah... This is not... Yeah... It's not Porn! It's definitely not porn."
--Bill Press, nationally syndicated talk show host.

"This is a great work of art, I must say. Its like something my father would hang in the garage when I was a kid."
--Bill Press, one week later.

"Guaranteed to get your heart rate going and your blood pressure up."
--Christy Harden Smith, LeftInTheWest.

"Professionally and sexily lensed..."
--Wells Dunbar, Austin Chronicle.

"The women he captures offer inticate and vibrant mosaics... The viewer is often left with a hungry curiosity, piecing together the plot of his prismatic, silent movie."
--Sez G, Eros Zine

"suavely directed by Burke Heffner."
--Matthew Murray, talkinbroadway.com

  • Posted on 04/12/2012 by MsBubbles   
    Once you get your smoking jacket, can I sit on the arm rest of your big fancy chair as you open letters in front of a fireplace?

  • Posted on 04/11/2012 by DallasRainbow   
    Thanks for accepting my FR

  • Posted on 04/11/2012 by OkiDokiOkami

    Thanks for the friendship! I love burlesque and I'm happy that we have quite a few great burlesque artists here in the Northwest.

  • Posted on 03/27/2012 by SpecialK   
    Thank you for acceptingmy friend request! Btw, I love your avatar pic. Did you make the jacket?

  • Posted on 03/28/2012 by ThingsToLookAt   
    I did... then sadly I tried to wash it one day and that was the end of it.

  • Posted on 03/31/2012 by SpecialK   
    Oh booo!! I have a couple of outfits that I have to be really careful with. I foolishly threw a vintage dress in the washer and the seams all started coming apart. I still haven't fixed it yet :/

  • Posted on 03/21/2012 by MsBubbles   
    I want to drive to NY ;)

  • Posted on 03/21/2012 by tmronin   
    you know that i know that you MUST already own a smoking jacket. just sayin'. you ARE a dapper motherfucker.

  • Posted on 03/22/2012 by ThingsToLookAt   
    I'm a little embarrassed to say I don't. I should. I really should. It is my style but no.

  • Posted on 03/21/2012 by RazorCandi   
    That letter opener sounds mega hot! I agree with Babs, a photo of you with your smoking jacket and letter opening would be sweeet!

  • Posted on 03/21/2012 by ThingsToLookAt   
    Well, if you all insist.

  • Posted on 03/21/2012 by EnglishBabs   
    Sounds a very cool letter opener. When you get your smoking jacket, how about a new profile photo of you wearing it with your new letter opener?

  • Posted on 03/09/2012 by WendyWendigo   
    That's wonderful! It is in a somewhat obscure place but I think that's why it's a great place to live. :)

  • Posted on 03/08/2012 by Yovonna33

    I personally only have one or two of such experiences.....and they are quite depressing!

  • Posted on 12/12/2011 by InfraRedRoses   
    Dangerous, yes! Just ask all the strangled photographers covered with quicklime that are in my shed! JUST KIDDING! =p Loving your sets, as always ;D

    Life... it is oh so rough.

    Just the way I like it.

  • Posted on 12/11/2011 by Merlowe   
    I try to take a dose of that medicine daily..keeps me young! lol

  • Posted on 12/11/2011 by Kealani   
    Haha that would be so awesome, I'd so watch that musical and sing along too! How would one direct that scene exactly... I'm laughing just picturing that one. It might have to be a comedy as well, don't think I could take that too seriously lol

  • Posted on 12/11/2011 by LaBelleFille   
    True, very true......bad sex does the same thing only in a negative way!

  • Posted on 12/11/2011 by Kealani
