In case you missed it, we're happy to share the recording of our live Zoom conversation with Mitch Dobrowner, the first segment of photo-eye Conversations: LIVE!

The Zoom gathering was a relaxed chat between Gallery Director Anne Kelly and photographer Mitch Dobrowner, followed by a Q&A.

Dobrowner has been traveling across the country with professional storm chasers for over a decade with the goal of capturing the calm amidst the storm. Though this seems counterintuitive, Dobrowner's hyper-technical approach and incredibly focused compositional eye enable him to find a sense of grounding even during the most extreme weather events. The translation of this imagery into flawless black-and-white prints provides the viewer with that same sense of peace, even among the chaos, a moment of stillness can always be found.

Mitch Dobrowner was born in 1956 in Long Island, Bethpage, New York. Worried about Mitch's future and the direction his life will 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 work by Minor White and Ansel Adams, Mitch quickly became addicted to photography.

Years later, in early 2005, inspired by his wife, children and friends—he again picked up his camera. Working with professional storm chaser Roger Hill, Dobrowner has traveled throughout Western and Midwestern America to capture nature in its full fury; making extraordinary images of monsoons, tornados, and massive thunderstorms with the highest standard of craftsmanship.

Dobrowner’s Storms series has attracted considerable media interest from National Geographic, Time, and 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.

He lives with his family in Studio City, California.

KATE BREAKEY / Wondrous Things

Artist Reception: 4-6pm, July 29, 2023
On View July 29- September 30, 2023

“Making images of these things is a natural extension of being fascinated, touched, or intrigued by them. This process of seeing, and recording transforms me. It is how I express wonder and love, a form of dedication. It is also a record of my life and my desire to connect myself to all other things, the acknowledgment of a search for an explanation, for meaning and significance, a primal longing to grasp things which are unknowable.”
— Kate Breakey

The hand-colored images exhibit intricate detail, drawing the viewer in to appreciate every aspect, from petals to feathers.
