Mitch Dobrowner Storms Mitch Dobrowner has been chasing storms since 2005. Working with professional storm chaser Roger Hill, Dobrowner has traveled throughout western and midwestern America to capture nature in its full fury, making extraordinary images of monsoons, tornadoes and massive thunderstorms with the highest standard of craftsmanship and in the tradition of... more » Ansel Adams. Dobrowner, a graphic designer by trade, says, "As I researched the subject of storm systems and how they formed, I came to appreciate the complexity of these large structured super-cells--massive storms with deep, rotating updrafts that sometimes spawn tornadoes. As a photographer, I always count myself lucky to get to the right place at the right time." Shot in locations in Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma and Texas, Dobrowner's storm series has attracted considerable media interest (in National Geographic, Time and New York Times Magazine, among others) and is presented here in a deluxe, large-format yet affordable edition. The book features an introduction by Gretel Ehrlich (acclaimed author of This Cold Heaven), which focuses on the phenomenon of storms and on the landscape tradition of the American West.
Mitch Dobrowner (born 1956) has been earning his living as a photographer since 2010. His storm photographs have been featured in many group exhibitions, including at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. He was the winner of the L'Iris d'Or award at the 2012 Sony World Photo Awards.« less
