A little backstory.
Stu's career began with the realisation that he was far better suited to life behind the camera than in front of it, a sentiment that remains unchallenged to this day.
Starting in theatre lighting on Evita at London's Prince Edward Theatre, he went on to work on Monty Python's The Meaning of Life at Elstree Studios, before moving into video and events including Queen's legendary 'Live Magic' Wembley concert in 1986.
His break into television came when he joined a facility in Westminster to cover politics. From there Stu joined Sky News, where assignments saw him travel to the war in Bosnia and Nelson Mandela's historic election victory in South Africa.
He joined Associated Press as Production Director, training journalists in the practical skills of shooting and editing television news packages, before relocating to Paris in February 1997. At the end of August, Stu was one of the first TV cameras to arrive at the Pont de l'Alma tunnel the night of Princess Diana's fatal crash. He covered the 1998 FIFA World Cup, traveled to Kosovo with CNN, and put to sea for the BBC to cover Ellen MacArthur's crossing the finish line on the Vendée Globe. He went on to shoot for BBC flagship programmes Newsnight and Panorama.
Alongside his television career, Stu moved into news and editorial photography. Represented by agencies in London, Paris and New York, he also lectured in broadcast journalism at the École Supérieure de Journalisme in Paris.
After nearly two decades in France, he returned to the UK, bringing with him a wealth of experience and technical expertise that continues to shape his photography today.
