Weather & Storms

When the sky changes, everything changes.

Weather can completely transform a place in minutes.

A quiet landscape becomes violent under an approaching storm. Light breaks through clouds for only a few seconds. Rain changes color, texture, and movement. Fog removes half the world. Lightning turns night into daylight.

That unpredictability is what draws me to it.

Weather & Storms is focused on documenting changing conditions and the landscapes caught beneath them — from small shifts in atmosphere to the moments when nature shows exactly how powerful it can be.

What I Photograph

Storms & Dramatic Skies
Incoming systems, storm fronts, towering clouds, changing skies, and the light and structure that develop around severe or unsettled weather.

Lightning & Thunderstorms
Lightning, electrical storms, heavy rain, and the brief moments of light and movement that can disappear almost as quickly as they arrive.

Rain, Fog & Atmosphere
Rain-soaked landscapes, mist, fog, reflections, low clouds, and quieter weather that completely changes the mood of a familiar place.

Wildfire Smoke & Atmospheric Conditions
Smoke-filled skies, unusual light, haze, and environmental conditions that reshape the landscape and document what an area is experiencing.

Weather Over the Landscape
Mountains, forests, rivers, fields, rural areas, and city environments photographed as weather moves through them.

Changing Seasons
Cold snaps, frost, snow, heat, autumn storms, spring rain, and the natural transitions that come with living in the Pacific Northwest.

More Than a Pretty Sky

I’m interested in what weather does to a place.

The way wind moves through trees.

The line where rain meets dry ground.

Sunlight breaking underneath a storm.

Clouds swallowing a mountain.

Smoke turning daylight orange.

Water collecting on pavement after a downpour.

Sometimes the photograph is the storm itself.

Sometimes it is what the storm leaves behind.

Both matter.

Working With What Nature Gives Me

Weather photography does not happen on command.

Conditions change. Forecasts miss. Light disappears. Storms weaken, strengthen, or move somewhere completely different.

That is part of why I love the work.

There is no studio setup and no second take.

You watch.

You wait.

You learn the conditions.

And when everything lines up for a few seconds, you shoot.

Safety Comes Before the Photograph

No image is worth becoming part of the emergency.

Storms, wildfire conditions, flooding, lightning, high winds, and other hazardous weather are photographed only when I can work from a safe and lawful location.

The goal is to document nature’s power — not compete with it.

Some of the strongest landscapes exist for only a moment.

The photograph is how I keep them.

The Standard

Watch the sky. Respect the weather. Be ready when the world changes.
