I realized I never introduced myself here on Bluesky! With that being said...hello!
My name is Charlie and I'm a 24yo professional landscape photographer and storm chaser from Wisconsin. I love traveling the globe in search of stunning natural light, photographing just how fragile it can be. 📸 🏔️🌲🌩️

I recently returned to Maroon Bells, and although I didn't get a spot for sunrise, the afternoon clouds made up for it. 🏔️

A year ago yesterday (thanks @donkeydownburst.bsky.social for reminding me), Colin and I found ourselves gobbling up some Jet's pizza along the shoreline of the UP of Michigan. Our original intent of the trip was to photograph fall colors, but the night skies definitely stole the show. What a night.

1 year ago about right now, @charliekruschek.com & I were sitting in my car, eating Jet’s Pizza while we awaited the next auroral substorm on the shore of Lake Superior. Over the next 3 hours, we’d get a few substorms, several portfolio shots, & the most serene experience of my life. Volume ⬆️. (1/2)

Yesterday morning, I found this tree in a small valley surrounded by mist. When shooting low, the bokeh was some of the coolest I’ve ever photographed. 🌲

Managed to score some auroras over Sundance Mountain in RMNP this evening. What a sight this was after originally only aiming for a sunset hike!

Managed to score one bolt at Great Sands last week while chasing some lowkey storms. If this is the last storm photo of 2025 for me, I'm happy to end it on this note. What a moment!

Took the short drive from my new home down to RMNP and was welcomed with quite the sunset! It still feels surreal to be an hour away from views like this now. I'll be back quite often I assume... ⛰️

A lot of chasers will remember 6/15/25 as Wellfleet’s day. However, there was also this tornado in Minnesota that same afternoon! I like to call it The Lost Tornado.

I’ve been a bit quiet here for the past week or so because… I’ve been packing! Officially on the road to Colorado! Exciting times ahead! 🏔️

MY TOP 10 FROM WISCONSIN: Number 10 // Taken near Rib Mountain in 2018, this was actually a consolation prize after we had attempted to chase some nearby storms earlier in the day. One of the first shots I ever took that I felt like “I got it”.

I’ve been chasing storms for nearly a decade now, and yet after all this time, I still hadn’t seen a tornado in Wisconsin. Knowing my time here is coming to an end, I wanted to take the gloves off and leave it all out there for one final Cheese State chase.
This is what I captured.

Somehow, I managed to already craft a quick video from today’s tornado intercept near Sauk City. One of the closest encounters with a tornado I’ve ever had.
Hope you find it as wild as I do! #wiwx #tornado

Reminiscing on the Bentonites. What a remarkably unique place that honestly makes you feel like you're on another planet. Maybe... Mars?
