While visiting Florida, Heather Hollis found herself in the midst of a sudden, wild storm. Drawn to the drama unfolding over the ocean, she rushed to the beach, camera in hand. Balancing it carefully on a piece of driftwood, she began capturing long exposures—patiently pressing the shutter, frame after frame—awaiting that perfect moment when lightning would electrify the horizon.

The resulting image, Thunder Rolls, captures the instant when the storm’s raw energy illuminated the night sky in a brilliant flash of light. The scene reveals both nature’s beauty and its immense power, contrasting dark, brooding clouds against radiant streaks of lightning. The photograph is a testament to Hollis’s instinct, timing, and deep respect for the natural world.

Heather J. Hollis is a self-taught fine art photographer whose work captures the quiet poetry of nature. Rooted in resilience and empathy, her imagery transforms fleeting moments—like delicate fungi blooming on a Missouri tree—into meditations on beauty, endurance, and light. Now exploring both land and sea through her lens, Heather continues to reveal the extraordinary within the everyday.
