# Grayscale Storm Photography Mitch Dobrowner Captures Natural Disasters Beautifully By Matt Ho | Published 2011-01-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mitch-dobrowner References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/fine-art-of-storms-13-photos) & [mitchdobrowner](http://www.mitchdobrowner.com/index.html) I'm not crazy enough to stand outside during a natural disaster to capture pictures even from a distance, but Mitch Dobrowner does just that. Mitch Dobrowner's beautifully shot [black and white pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1) makes you appreciate storms for what it is despite its disastrous outcomes. The still moments he captures of [moving clouds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cloud-house) gives the scene an organic personality while showcasing its beautifully spontaneous movements. Mitch Dobrowner's [stormy photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-colorway) truly define the calm before the storm. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Black-and-white Photography:** Exploiting the artistic potential of black-and-white photography by capturing natural disasters in a visually stunning and unique way. - **Capturing Moments:** Using photography to freeze and preserve fleeting moments of natural disasters, highlighting their beauty and power. - **Nature's Spontaneity:** Embracing the unpredictable and chaotic nature of storms as a source of artistic inspiration and showcasing their natural beauty through photography. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Exploring innovative techniques and styles in capturing natural disasters to appeal to photography enthusiasts and art collectors. - **Outdoor Adventure:** Utilizing storm photography as a niche market for outdoor adventure companies to offer unique experiences and photography tours during extreme weather conditions. - **Natural Disasters Awareness:** Using captivating storm photographs to raise awareness about the impact and potential dangers of natural disasters, particularly in disaster-prone areas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tornado-Inspired Illuminator Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storm-lamp.md) - [Dramatic Doomsday Bunker Images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alastair-philip-wiper.md) - [Sky-Based Visual Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratosplash.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Painting-Immersive Photo Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ground-exhibition.md) - [Public Art Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-anthony-smith.md) - [Destructive Nature Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keita-miyazaki.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md)
