He is, with Stephen Bayley, co-author of 'Life's a Pitch', a best-selling guide to presentation skills. He has also written articles for several British newspapers, including The Observer.[3] and "The Times".
He has worked as an art photographer since 2008 when he graduated from The University of Westminster with a Masters degree in Photographic Studies.
