This is the most unusual portfolio received this week. It is by Paige Vincent, a photographer specializing in tornadoes and extreme weather. She added these few sentences
“My goal when chasing is to capture something unique. I truly enjoy combining the art of chasing and photography because those are the two things I’m the most passionate about.” says Paige “My favorite part about the chase is that every storm is different, and it’ll never happen in the same way again, so these photos are completely unique moments in time.”
And these tips:
“Set your camera to a slower shutter speed to capture multiple lightning strikes.
Start with an aperture around f/8 to f/11 to ensure a deep depth of field.
Set the focus at the distance where the storm is most likely to occur.”
One of Paige’s signature elements is her red dress. “Whenever I do have time, I’ll try to do a Red Dress shot,’ she shares. ‘It’s sort of what I am known for with my photography. The purpose of it when I am chasing is more artistic, and the red dress acts as a juxtaposition of something beautiful in front of something destructive.”
Born in Dallas, Texas, Paige initially pursued graphic design but found a passion for photography during her travels in her mid-twenties. Starting as a passenger with friends, she is now chasing storms all summer long in Arizona.
Paige was featured in the first episode of The Road Less Traveled, a series created by KÜHL, who aims to give a glimpse into the lives of those who value their independence and embrace the challenges that come with it. The complete story can be seen here.
