CLIENT REVIEWS
The Great Plains of Tornado Alley come alive each spring with some of the most dramatic displays of weather on Earth. Join Tim & Lauren Baca, 2020 & 2026 Storm Photographers of the Year, and Nick Selway with the Extreme Photo Workshops team as we pursue and photograph severe weather across the Great Plains—from massive sculpted supercells and powerful tornadoes to dramatic skies and electrifying displays of lightning.
WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS
Experience Tornado Alley during one of the most active times of the spring severe weather season. Our experienced team will teach you the fundamentals of reading weather models, interpreting radar, anticipating storm movement, and safely positioning for incredible photographic opportunities.
You'll learn techniques for photographing supercells, tornadoes, lightning, and dramatic storm structure, while improving your composition, camera settings, and ability to handle the challenging light and extreme dynamic range of severe weather.
With a small group and hands-on instruction from experienced storm photographers, you'll receive personalized guidance in the field along with image reviews and post-processing instruction during and after the workshop.
