Mitch Dobrowner Summary

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, tornados, and massive thunderstorms with the highest standard of craftsmanship and in the tradition of 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. Dobrowner's storm series has attracted considerable media interest (National Geographic, Time, New York Times Magazine, among others) and is presented in Storms in a deluxe, largeformat yet affordable edition. The book features an introduction by Gretel Ehrlich that focuses on the phenomenon of storms and on the landscape tradition of the American West.

Mitch Dobrowner Reviews

This guy doesn't need a weatherman: Throughout the western U.S., he captures electric thunderstorms, ominious funnel clouds, and outright tornadoes in luminous, Ansel Adamsian black and white.--Jack CragerAmerican Photo (11/01/2013)
Dobowner aims to capture storms and other massive landscapes, like Nibiru Stone, above, a large piece of ice sitting on the Icelandic shoreline, as living beings, both rational and unpredictable in the way they look, how they move, grow, and die, he says.--Meg Ryan HeeryAmerican Photo (01/01/2014)

About

Mitch Dobrowner derives his inspiration from the natural world, and from the masters of landscape photography who have captured it before him, in particular Ansel Adams and Minor White. Dobrowner began one of his main subjects, photographing the landscapes of the American West in 2005, and since then, storms have become one of his main subjects. Although widely exhibited, collected, and published in periodicals, this is the first book featuring Dobrowner's storm photographs.
