Travel photographer
Stuart was born in 1977 in Newcastle. He studied at the Northern Media School, where he gained a Masters in Screen Arts. During his time there, Stuart embarked on his first filming expedition with fellow student Pandula Godawatta. On a shoestring budget, they travelled to the Tamil Tiger-controlled regions of Sri Lanka, in an attempt to tell the story of the civil war that had raged for over 20 years.
Since then Stuart has become a multi award-winning photographer and filmmaker. His assignments have taken him across the globe, photographing a wide range of topics, from critically endangered animals, to remote tribes.
