About me

My background was as a structural design analysis engineer, primarily working in Aerospace and Formula One industries. This involved building computer models of various components, which did include a degree of creativity. My site name, "TyphoonPhoto", is taken from the engines for the Typhoon Jet that I had worked on. Now semi-retired I've returned to my long standing interests in photography and painting.I've been taking photos since the mid 1970's, back then with a Zeiss Ikon Contina 35mm film camera. It was a good place to learn being all manual and had a faulty exposure meter, so I had to guess all the exposure and depth of field as well as focus settings!Most importantly, that camera introduced me a love of imagery, and the joy of sharing them too. Both of which remain strong to this day. Nowadays I mainly use a Nikon and Canon digial, and occasionally Yashica D TLR medium format film cameras. To me both digital and film have their place; they offer a different feel and look to photographs, even if I mostly go digital. My grandfather was an amateur painter, mainly with oils, through him I took an interest in painting. I still use much of his equipment, although I now prefer to paint with acrylic.Many thanks for viewing my website, I hope you enjoy my work, and see you here again soon as I regularly add more Mixed-Media Canvas paintings and Photographs.MikeMy work has been published in many magazines including:LA MODÈLE Boudoir, L’Opera and UNVEILMagsFollow me on Instagram @mike_stephens_photo
