These photographs are part of a long-running series that investigates atmosphere, primarily through weather. For over a decade, Jeff has traveled across 15 states in pursuit of nature’s dramatic and picturesque displays. From thunderheads curling skyward to lightning that lashes across the sky, his camera captures the raw power and beauty of storms and weather.

An average thundercloud can weigh more than a million pounds; a single lightning bolt burns hotter than the sun's surface. These fierce displays become creatures of the imagination—skyborne phenomena that appear and vanish.

Often eschewing the usual conventions of landscape and nature photography that rely on a close foreground reference point, these photographs place the viewer within the context of our larger physical world. Clouds are infinitely variable and often astonishingly beautiful. By studying the atmosphere from all angles—above, below, and at ground level—we might further open our minds to our place and what we inhabit.

Opening on October 25, 2025, and continuing through November 2025, the Pico Union gallery space Jagerhaus presented Dragons, an exhibition of Jeff’s new works. This was his third solo exhibition and the most comprehensive to date for storm and weather photography.

Jeff is based in Los Angeles but is often in the field or on the move.
