Ride Along for Photography Book - Illinois

[Chloe Burbank]

Hi stormchasers!
Im a documentary photographer out of Chicago and am really interested in getting into stormchasing. I'm from the west coast, where we have very little weather, so tormados and storms have always fascinated me! I have very little experience, but was wondering if any chasers in the area would be willing to take me out and let me ride along and document the process. I have a vehicle, however I would prefer to ride along with another chaser so I can better document the process and what happens. I am able to meet anywhere within a few hours drive of Chicago. I plan on making a photobook with my captures so this could be your chance to get published! Previous work can be found at chloepaul.pics, and I can be contacted at @chloe.burbankk on instagram or at [email protected]. Thank you so much and I look forward to hopefully shooting with you!

I'd recommend checking out one of the established tour operators, they are a great way to get started in chasing and get the full experience. It's also the best way to maximize your chances of seeing something good if you're only looking to go out for a season or two.

That sounds interesting, Dan. Do you have any information on where I could look into this? Thanks.

Upon some research, these websites arn't really what Im looking for. I care less about actually getting the storm and more about documenting the life, process, and hobby of a storm chaser. I'm here for you, not the storm! Plus I'm wayy too broke for these. Appreciate the info anyways.
