Photography

My name is Stephen. I’m a storm chaser, photographer, and filmmaker based in Flower Mound, Texas. I spend my time documenting the rarest and most extreme events on the planet, from violent tornadoes and supercells, to auroras and solar eclipses.

My work focuses on capturing what most may never see.
