“Cities can die. But they can also be reborn. This is what I saw happening in Detroit. Every year, for over twenty-five years, work has called me here. Year by year, I have seen the city change, a music score between crisis and rebirth, a metaphor and a warning for this world in search of a new future.”

Tori Jane Ostberg (USA)
Approach
Artist Statement
From early childhood, seeing a tornado was a strange obsession of mine - and one year, I had the chance to start really chasing big storms in the great plains of the United States after a lifetime of only chasing the summer monsoon season storms in the American southwest. On the first day of my first chase trip, I captured this breathtakingly photogenic tornado in the state of Colorado. It would be rated an EF2, and this photo would go on to take second place in the National Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year competition in 2016.
Biography
Tori Jane Ostberg is a hopelessly obsessed storm chaser and photographer, in that order. Chasing down the meanest weather on the planet has always been what she wanted to do. Every year, she spends weeks living on the road in pursuit of untamed skies, driving thousands of miles wherever the weather leads her throughout the North American great plains. In the summer, she chases the uniquely beautiful monsoon season across her home state of Arizona. Her photos are little pieces of her soul imprinted in pixels, beautiful little pieces of everything she’s ever wanted to do with herself, and everything she’s ever hoped for all rolled into extraordinary and at times extreme imagery. She hopes to share the sublime beauty of severe weather with the world as she sees it: equal parts beautiful, humbling, and frightening, and as much a grand spectacle as a force to be respected and revered.
