"This year marked my 11th year traveling the United States photographing storm systems with my guide and friend Roger Hill. Over that time I have traveled over 200,000 miles and have seen things I could only have imagined when I picked up my cameras again in 2005. In 2022, with all the drama in the world today, I felt a quietness come over me this year while photographing, a more tranquil state that I truly appreciate. I hope that feeling is reflected in this new work."

Mitch Dobrowner was born in 1956 in Long Island, Bethpage, New York. Worried about Mitch's future and the direction his life would take, his father decided to give him an old Argus rangefinder to fool around with — little did he realize that it would become a significant gesture for Mitch. After doing some research, and seeing the images of Minor White and Ansel Adams, Mitch quickly became addicted to photography. Years later, in early 2005, inspired by his wife, children, and friends — he picked up his camera once again. He now lives with his family in Studio City, California.

Working with professional storm chaser Roger Hill, Dobrowner has traveled throughout Western and Midwestern America to capture nature in all its fury; making extraordinary images of monsoons, tornados, and massive thunderstorms with the highest standard of craftsmanship.

Dobrowner's Storm Series has attracted considerable media interest (National Geographic, Time Magazine, and the New York Times Magazine, among others). In August of 2022 a print of the image Rope Out, from a private collection, has been acquired by the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Other museums that have acquired Mitch's work include The Center of Creative Photography, Tucson AZ; The National Gallery of Art, Washingon D.C.; The Museum of Fine Art, Houston TX; Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleaveland OH; Portland Museum of Art, Portland OR; Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara CA; and the Middlebury Museum of Art, Middlebury VA.
