Technician and storm chaser Steven Maguire captured the incredible images in the state of Arizona during some of the most stormy conditions to hit the country
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...60_964x616.jpg
By scouting locations during the off season, he is better prepared for the shots. He then waits for the forecasts to indicate a storm is brewing before going into action
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...78_964x569.jpg
The state of Arizona has monsoon season thunderstorms and chasing them is a risky business. An average of 51 people die every year from lightning strikes in the US
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...79_964x567.jpg
The remarkable pictures capture moments that are only visible for milliseconds when seen by the naked eye - what Mr Maguire calls the storm's 'beauty'
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...91_964x520.jpg
Mr Maguire said patience was key for getting great photographs while storm chasing. Using weather and forecasting technology, he can ensure he is well prepared
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...24_964x570.jpg
Mr Maguire's daring photography work chasing storms is only a hobby, although one shoot can take him anywhere between 30 minutes and five hours
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...30_964x584.jpg
He said his passion for photography was strong enough that when he finally gets the shot he wants it is worth all the 'frustrating' moments
