Until mid-2008 Stuart was based in Bangalore, India, where he contributed to the in-depth glossy guide, Bengaluru & Karnataka (2008, Stark World) and Driving Holidays Across India (2009, Outlook Traveller Guides). His photos were used in Indien - Eine Bildreise and China - Eine Bildreise (both 2008, National Geographic). Prior to that, he lived for four years in Germany, and speaks German fluently. He is currently based in northeastern England.
