Storms are usually viewed as something to be afraid of in modern culture, but in her most recent series 'The Big Cloud: The Lovely Monster,' photographer Camille Seaman has found a way to turn these monstrous storm clouds into works of art.

Camille Seaman, born in 1969, has been seen in numerous publications such as National Geographic Magazine, TIME, Newsweek and [The New York Times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-laces) along with many others.

Her most recent work, 'The Big Cloud: The Lovely Monster' features the brilliant photographs of developing storm clouds and supercells over their period of development. It is breathtaking to see these [unique cloud formations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stratosplash) and the colors that they produce. The images were taken over the period of a few hours just outside of Sidney, Nebraska.

Camille Seaman's 'The Big Cloud: The Lovely Monster' photographs seem to tame the monstrous giants.
