The Calm and the Storm

Following this supercell in Kansas, I pulled off near a crop field. I had just a few short minutes to set up my camera and tripod before the winds increased in speed and temperature dropped, warning me that I needed to change locations.

About Artist

Brett Freliche

Brett is a photographer who loves being out in the middle of nowhere, observing our wild earth in its purest form, capturing the forces of nature in a moment in time. He has a deep respect and admiration for wildlife, whether it be humpback whales in the Pacific Ocean, or a lone leopard in Africa. His passion for nature photography started in college, where he worked in the school's dark room, developing rolls of film. His love for nature photography continues to take him to all corners of our blue planet, from chasing supercell storms in the United States, to Kenya to photograph the “Big 5,” and to Northern Canada to capture beluga whales.
