Storm Chasing with Alister Chapman

“One of the challenges with storm chasing is these storms can be moving quite quickly, and you might be in a dangerous position. Sometimes you literally only have seconds to get the shot…”

“For me, it’s a sense of adventure, wanting to see things I haven’t seen before, to experience new sights and sounds. Every time I go storm chasing, I see and hear different things—no two storms are ever the same. There’s definitely a thrill-seeker element. You want that rush of seeing a tornado, lightning, and the storm.”

In May 2023 we spent a week following filmmaker Alister Chapman on his annual storm chasing adventures, filming with the Sony FX6. Exploring Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Kansas. We chased storms from state to state in search of the next best shot.
