I write, take photographs and dabble in web design. I'm also a co-founder of the political social network start-up Policymakr. I currently live in New York City.

I read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Magdalen College, Oxford, and government at École nationale d’administration. I have worked in merchant banking, the media, public administration and contemporary art. My main subjects of interest and concern are the environment, animal welfare, politics and technology.

I don’t just take pictures, I also write. I mainly write about politics, tech, and culture. In addition to subjects of a strictly personal nature, I’ve also occasionally written about literature and religion. I first indulged my taste for politics and current affairs at Oxford at the Oxford Union Society, and then as a student in Paris, where I was President of Conférence Olivaint.

Subjects I’m passionate about include code, good web design, Net neutrality, and avoiding government interference in the Internet. I write a lot about Apple-related stuff, blogging techniques and trends in social networks.

My interests span contemporary art, which has surrounded me ever since my infancy, music, especially from Mozart up to the mid-Romantic period, as well as well-sung English choral music from the sixteenth, seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. I have worked in the field of culture and media in various capacities.
