Storm photos are one of the good side effects of a dangerous phenomenon. Storms can be devastating but out of the devastation can come some of the most beautiful natural photos Mother Nature has to offer.
Mike Hollingshead from Extreme Instability is a storm chaser. He follows large and dangerous storms to catch amazing photos and share them. In an occupation like this, your life is always on the line but you also have front row seats to a show that many don’t get to witness.
This storm photo series by Mike shows different parts of storms he’s come across in his time working as a storm chaser. The colors are so vivid and bright that they don’t even seem like they could even happen naturally and the skies are twisted and contorted by the storms into dangerous masterpieces.
