The French photographer is ‘considered the pope of bad weather photography’, the publisher reveals, with this book showcasing around 170 of his atmospheric outdoor shots.

The publisher continues: ‘When we look out the window and are welcomed with bad weather, we cancel plans, or hope to, and stay indoors. For Jacrot, this is when the world opens up to his lens.’
