Welcome to “The Lightning Man”  Web site.

Hello, my name is James Insogna, thank you for stopping by!  Bo is my nickname, I am based in Boulder County, Colorado.  I’ve been chasing lightning storms since the late eighties, over twenty years.  Back then we were shooting film.  It’s amazing how much has changed and also how many people have taken up this exciting Storm Chasing adventure catching lightning storms on camera.  When you see that first image, you can get hooked very easily.  I’ve seen many storm chasers born and it has been fun to coach and watch them grow their skills plus see images from all over the US and all over the world.  When the storms die in the USA they are just starting down under in Australia.

The Lightning Man Prints have been purchased from collectors from all over the world and have been featured on the front page of Fine Art America, Imagekind and Redbubble. Images have also  appeared and been featured on Television, Magazines, Newspapers, Books and licensed for all kinds of media.

Look for some of the TV interviews and media features on the site.

Custom prints are available in all sizes and shipped world wide to your door.  Also canvas art prints, posters, greeting cards and stock images for license.  Gallery

If you are interested in or looking for a good human interest story your readers or audience will love, images are always available.  Please bear this in mind I am a professional photographer is do this for a living, but there are many win win situations to be created.

Also if you would like to use or license one of the images on the site or in a gallery,  please contact me.  1-888- 682-0122

It is my hope that when you see my work you see that my style is a little different and has been considered some of the best lightning images in the world.  There are shots that have been worked on for many years just to get the storm to be in the right place at the right time… and even more … me being in the right place at the right time.   My gear is always ready to go and when the crack thunder sounds, it is my calling to get out and chase a storm.  In other words when everyone is running inside ( and you should) it is out the door into the thick of things for me. It is more than just getting a shot of a lightning bolt… it is about getting an interesting shot of lightning.

Please make no mistake, it is extremely exciting to catch some lightning bolts on camera and is even an incredible rush… but it can be extremely dangerous.  So if you decide  you want to be a “storm chaser” be aware of your surroundings and have the right gear.

There have been a few times all the hair on my body stood up and I knew there was a charge building, there have also been many situations I have crawled out of. When the Budweiser Storm images happened, that was a chase that almost took me from Boulder County to Wyoming.  At the start of the photo shoot: First, the remote on the camera would get hit.  Next,  I would jump in the back of the SUV with my feet off the ground with comfort of four rubber tires for safety. It was the most erratic lightning I’ve ever seen.  Scary stuff. You could not tell where the bolts were going to hit next.  Front of you, behind you or on top of you!  So safety is always number one.
