25 Photographs From The 2022 Storm Photographer

The 2022 winners of the second annual Storm Photos of the Year competition have been revealed. Affectionately dubbed “The Stormys,” the competition is organized by seasoned storm/landscape photographer Mike Olbinski. The renowned photographer founded this yearly competition to recognize the devotion of both professional and amateur storm photographers.

Storm photography is sometimes regarded as one of the most challenging disciplines to perfect. A photographer must be skilled with composition and settings, but storm photography also involves meticulous preparation and devotion to staying safe in a risky situation.

Three categories were available in this year’s contest: Photo of the Year, Tornado Photo of the Year, and Photographer. The first two categories were created to highlight the most “great, single shots taken the previous year in their respective categories,” while the third category honors “the accomplishment of assembling an exceptional series of ten images taken in 2021.”
