My first published article and photograph, a portrait of the well-known Parisian bookshop ‘Shakespeare & Co’, appeared in The Irish Times in the early 1980s. Having left Dublin for London in 1986, I worked initially for the BBC, then on a Channel 4 series that took me to locations around the world. My travelling had started in earnest. I spent most of the 1990s covering Africa, first as a freelance journalist for The Observer and other publications, then – as from the time of the 1994 Rwanda genocide – as a full-time, Nairobi-based foreign correspondent with The Independent. Working for that paper and later for The Times, |

I filed dispatches
and photographs from all over East, Central and West Africa.
Since moving to India in 1999, I have been a foreign correspondent and contributor of photographs to numerous magazines and newspapers, among them The Times, The Sunday Times and The Sunday Telegraph. |

In recent years, I have been engaged in an increasing amount of multi-media work – photography, video and text – for a range of news outlets, aid agencies and non-governmental organisations. Since serving as a public information officer for the UN World Food Programme in the aftermath of the earthquake which devastated Pakistani Kashmir in 2005, I have undertaken a number of media consultancies for WFP: Lebanon (2006), Nepal (2008), India (2008) and Haiti (2009).
