After trying various jobs (farmer, hospital orderly, shop assistant, door-to-door salesman, art director, childminder and others beside) I became a writer. In 2004, instead of commissioning a photographer to accompany me on a trip to India, The Times bought me a camera. Ever since I have been taking photographs to illustrate my journalism and books.
My work has appeared in a wide selection of publications including Country Life, Vanity Fair, You Magazine, The Guardian, The Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph.
