Mother Nature at her wildest through the lens of a stormchaser.

"My photographic passion for the elements commenced in the mid nineties after becoming engrossed with documentaries on storms and tornadoes. This is when I discovered Stormchasing."

Mark Humpage, Leicestershire, England.


Mark is a modern day adventurer, elemental photographer, seasoned Stormchaser and writer, from Leicestershire in the UK.

He has been fortunate to witness and capture some of the most hostile extremes of Mother Nature, witnessed by few. Tornadoes, Hurricanes, Monsoons, Aurora, Tidal Bores are just some of my magical subjects.

"Driving 24 hours a day in the dusty Plains of USA, hanging from an open car window, attempting to photograph a destructive tornado spinning at over 300mph in front of you. Dust, mud and debris lash the car as it starts to shudder....this is the wildest challenge and ride on earth"
"I currently shoot with the stunning Olympus E3 system, designed for Extreme. My adventures have pushed camera system to the edge. It has performed underwater (physically), in dust storms, in freezing temps ( -36C), extreme heat  (120 F) and beyond. I insist on quality, performance and a robust weather/dust proof system".

Mark has worked with many major TV clients including the BBC, ITV, Ch 4, Ch 5, Virgin Media, exhibited at Tate Modern and Olympus Inheritance exhibitions. His  elemental photographs have been published around the world and he has written many articles providing reportage, reviews and photojournalism for the National newspapers and magazines.
