Originally from Neuss, Germany, Dennis Oswald loves the thrill of chasing enormous storms in his home country and the United States's "tornado alley".
Oswald snaps colourful and formidable storms, getting as close as he dares.

The 34-year-old told Caters News: “I've been interested in weather and photography since I was a teenager. I saw people chasing storms in the US and thought 'I could do that too’.”
