Mitch Dobrowner always brings two things when he takes off in his truck to capture a storm: his tripod and his beanie. Sometimes driving 500 miles to take a chance based on cell boosters and his “storm guide” named Roger, he thinks of each storm like a person— each one is born fragile, and no two behave alike. Drawn by the spectacular light and unpredictability of inclement weather, Mitch describes the surge of adrenaline and focus he feels when witnessing a storm’s growth, violence, and personality (sometimes before making a hasty exit to safety). For Polarr, I spoke to Mitch about the art and science of capturing storms.
