Stelios Vassileou

Oxfordshire-based Stelios describes himself as a "keen amateur [but has] recently started taking photography more seriously". As proof of this, he's set up a website from which he sells his images, and earlier this year held his first exhibition in a local gallery (Stelios's work is currently being stocked by Penny Farthing Galleries in Banbury).

"I am resolutely a 35mm photographer", he explains, "using either a Pentax MZ7 or MZ5N. I prefer to experiment with different films rather than sticking with one or two, and have just taken my first photographs using B&W infrared film."

"I enjoy photographing various subjects, from flora to people. I derive great inspiration from Northumberland - especially it's heritage coastline - and classic motorsport. The Goodwood Festival of Speed is always a good source of subject matter."
