What exactly comes to mind when you think of a storm-chasing photographer? Most likely, you are visualizing an insane individual running across an open field towards a spinning vortex of doom. The reality shows for storm chasing have a flare for the dramatic and have many people visualizing a crazy scenario of chasing twisters across state lines. In actuality, it is quite a bit less dramatic.

There are typically two types of storm-chasing photographers. The dedicated storm-chasing photographers that live to chase during the storm season. These photographers will sometimes team up with researchers that have the knowledge and equipment to keep them in the loop of the best storms. Then you have the more low-key storm chasers that only go after the storms that conveniently land in their location. Most photographers that capture storms fall into the second category.
