I had another subject in mind for the first post of the week, but with the thunders outside, I wish so much to leave the office now, be at home and watch the sky!
Growing up in a forest, the storm was the complimentary sound and light show the nature offers you: birds flying low first, then silence, light rain, thunder, more darkness, lightning, showers, more lightning all together with the thunder and heavy rain, then, all these fading away to befall a complete silence, but with an amazing light if this happened during the day…
So, not surprising then, that storms greatly inspired artists too, but Camille Seaman is probably one of the photographers who captures at the best this particular atmosphere and shows its beauty.
Born in the Native American Shinnecock tribe, she believes humans are not separated from nature and this is why her works focus mainly on indigenous cultures and wild environments, like the Artic. Each photograph is stunning and makes you hope this nature will continue to exist as such, and will not be devastated in the future.
The pictures below are from her series ‘Big Cloud‘, but I encourage you to read one of her interview here and see her Ted talk on how she chased storms for 5 years here.
