He was a foreign correspondent for NIR-TV in Tehran, reporting extensively from around the world - the civil war in the Lebanon, the first democratic elections in Portugal, the uprising in India and assassination of Indira Gandhi, and the coronation of the cannibal ‘Emperor’ Jean-Bedel Bokassa in the Central African Empire. He was an On-Screen News/Current Affairs reporter for Granada Television, then a BBC Writer/Producer. His last series as producer/writer - and location photography - was the two-parter for Channel 4 (Cutting Edge) - "The French Foreign Legion"

As a photo-journalist he specializes in Travel Reportage and contributes to The Sunday Times, The Telegraph Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph Magazine, The Guardian, Mail on Sunday, Bunte, Conde Nast Traveller, Stern, Epoca, Wanderlust and many other travel-related magazines. In September 2009, his reportage on "Tribes of the Omo Valley" was recognised with a UNESCO-HPA award.
