Hello, my name is James Bo Insogna, thank you for stopping by! Bo is my nickname also kown as "The Lightning Man" http://www.TheLightningMan.com , I'm 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 .

My Prints have been purchased from collectors from all over the world and have been featured on Television, Magazines, Newspapers, Books and licensed for all kinds of media.

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


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.

One of Bo's images was even purchased and licensed to The Hit TV show "In Plain Sight" . He also had the honor of being feature in the Russian Version of "Photographer Magazine"
