The storm demon: Teen photographer captures ‘spooky’ face in the clouds above his remote Aussie town

  • Budding photographer Jarvis Smallman captured amazing pic in Hopetoun, WA
  • In the remarkable photo, it appears a human face is present amongst the clouds 
  • Jarvis, 14, was runner-up in Junior Australian Photographer of the Year category

A talented teenage photographer has captured the image of a lifetime from the Australian coastal town he calls home. 

Jarvis Smallman, 14, from Hopetoun in Western Australia, snapped the remarkable cloud photo last week, which appears to contain a ‘spooky’ face high up in the sky. 

The image also features a rainbow poking out of the swirling, dusty cloud formation.

‘It was taken before sunset after a day of school,’ the Year 9 student from Ravensthorpe District High School told Daily Mail Australia.

‘I was happy with it.. it is a cool shot.’

Jarvis, who only started dabbling in photography last year, said he loved taking pictures on land as well as in the ocean.

‘It all started when I was given a GoPro,’ he said.

‘After that I was lucky to also be given a waterproof camera.. now I am always out looking for different things to photograph.’

The teenager took to his Instagram to show off the incredible photo, writing: ‘By far the coolest cloud I’ve seen so far… (although) it was a bit spooky being watched by the sky.’ 

ABC South West shared the image on their Facebook page, and it didn’t long for a number of positive comments to follow on social media.

‘Wow, what an awesome capture of mother nature, with a combination of the joker, a rainbow, beauty and a beast,’ one person wrote.

‘This makes my hair stand on end. Ooh, spooky. Great capture,’ agreed another.

A third commented ‘that’s one for the cloud appreciation society…great photo.’ 

The photo was also shared on Facebook over 1400 times.

Budding photographer Jarvis appears to have a promising career beckoning with camera in hand.

In January this year, the youngster was a runner up in the Junior Australian Photographer of the Year category by Australian Photography Magazine.

The Hopetoun local submitted a fantastic shot of a playful sea lion while snorkeling at his favourite beach in the Fitzgerald Biosphere.

He hopes to pursue a career in photography once he finishes school.
