Jim Reed is recognized as one of the world's most accomplished weather photographers for his one-of-a-kind images of America's changing climate. A full-time documentary and fine art photographer, Jim has spent nearly two decades capturing almost every type of meteorological phenomena -- including tornadoes. He has documented 17 hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina. In 2004, he penetrated the eye of all four major hurricanes to strike Florida.

Jim's approach to weather photography has been singled out as one of the most unique and interpretive amongst photographers today. His credits include America Online, Microsoft, National Geographic, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, Nikon, The New York Times, Reader's Digest, Time Magazine, Discovery Channel, and the World Meteorological Organization. He has appeared live on every major American television network to discuss severe weather, storm chasing and global warming.

Jim has written cover stories and feature articles about our changing weather for Scientific American, Popular Science, Weatherwise, and Men's Journal. He is author of the award-winning photo book, "Storm Chaser: A Photographer's Journey" (Abrams, New York; www.stormchaserbook.com). He is also co-author of the best-seller "Hurricane Katrina: Through the Eyes of Storm Chasers" (Farcountry Press; with Mike Theiss), and "The Wonders of Weather" (Farcountry Press).
